Pilates Training

Pilates training was carried out as group exercises for about 1 hour, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Before starting the exercise training, all subjects were taught the key elements of Pilates in 1 session. Pilates training started with standing exercises for warming up and centering in the supine position. Training continued with upper and lower extremity movements. The intensity of the exercises was increased using different positions and elastic bands. Stretching exercises and posture exercises were used during the cooling period. All exercises were started with 10 repetitions and then increased to 20. In order for the patients to perform the movements correctly, each movement was first demonstrated by the physiotherapist. The movements that the patients could not do were applied by modifying them in a suitable way.
