Summary

Many studies on pilates have shown that these exercises positively affect the endurance of core muscles, mental health, and quality of life in healthy individuals when applied face-to-face.

In a few recent studies, the effects of online pilates training have been examined and shown to be effective on core endurance, depression, and quality of life. In the results of these studies, it has been emphasized that it is necessary to compare whether online pilates training is as practical as face-to-face pilates training. For this reason, the investigators thought that randomized controlled studies investigating the effects of online and face-to-face pilates methods in healthy individuals are needed. The investigators planned a randomized controlled study investigating the impact of online pilates and face-to-face pilates methods. The study aims to examine and compare the effects of online pilates and face-to-face pilates methods on core muscle endurance, depression, and quality of life in healthy individuals.

Online and Face-to-face Pilates trainings

Key elements of Pilates, including breathing, focusing, rib cage position, shoulder position, and head and neck positions, will be taught in both groups on the first day. Individuals will be asked to maintain the smoothness of these critical elements throughout the exercises. Different imagery techniques will be used in the exercises, and the exercises will be combined with breathing exercises. The intensity of the exercises will be increased by using different positions and elastic bands (Theraband Elastic Band Hygienic Corporation, Akron, Ohio). Band Resistances will be increased in biweekly periods. Stretching and posture exercises will be used during the cool-down period. The subjects in pilates group will be informed about the side effects such as shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, and muscle pain. Participants will be asked to stop the exercise in case of any side effects.
