It was conducted on four groups as Pilates, Yoga, WB-EMS and control and lasted 12 weeks in total. The training period of the participants in the group other than the control group was 2 days a week and 45 minutes per day, and 3 exercises consisted of warm-up, main part and cool-down parts.

Body composition measurements (height, body weight, body mass index, body fat and muscle percentage) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements were taken. Maximum heart rate (HRmax) (beats/min), average HR (beats/min), total calories burned (kcal) were determined to determine and monitor the load and intensity of each exercise for 12 weeks, and the Borg Scale was applied to the participants after each exercise to determine the degree of difficulty they perceived from the exercise they did and to evaluate their enjoyment of the exercises.
