The Pilates Group completed a 10-week Pilates program. The intervention was performed in 20 sessions. In the first session, introduction and explanations regarding the principles and benefits of Pilates was made in a language that preschool children can understand. Exercises were supervised, and they were taught via gamification. In addition, the participation of the children was encouraged and stickers were given to increase their motivation at the end of the sessions. No adverse events occurred during intervention. The exercise program was created based on books and from the booklet acquired in the APPI Pilates Method training courses. Since the study was in preschool children, the basic level of Pilates was performed. Each exercise was performed 5 times for 30 minutes each twice a week.
