摘要
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Pilates method on the personal autonomy, static balance and quality of life in healthy elderly females. Method: Fifty-two elderly females were selected and submitted to evaluation protocols to assess functional autonomy (GDLAM), static balance (Tinetti) and quality of life (WHOQOL-OLD). The Pilates group (PG: n = 27) participated in Pilates exercises twice weekly for eight weeks. Descriptive statistics were compiled using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The level of significance was considered to be p <= 0.05. Results: The dependent Student-t test demonstrated significant post-test differences in the Pilates group in the following areas balance (Delta% = 4.35%, p = 0.0001) and General Index of GDLAM (Delta% = -13.35%, p = 0.0001); the Wilcoxon test demonstrated significant post-test differences in the quality of life Index (Delta% = 1.26%, p = 0.0411). Conclusion: The Pilates method can offer significant improvement in personal autonomy, static balance and quality of life. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
