Özet
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of pilates and reformer exercises on body composition and anthropometric characteristics in sedentary women. Also, It is aimed to determine the regional effects of reformer and pilates in the body and to determine which type of exercise is more effective. 36 sedentary women with an average age of 30.1 +/- 0.5 participated in the study as volunteers. All participants are divided into two groups, pilates (n:17) and reformer (n:19). Participants were given 60 minutes of pilates and reformer exercises 2 days a week for 8 weeks. The Ethics Committee approved the study. In the study data, body composition was obtained by measuring waist, buttocks, arm, leg, chest, abdomen and anthropometric parameters in anatomical posture by measuring them with tape measure and recording them in centimetres. In the pretest and finaltest results comparisons in sedentary women who exercised pilates and reformer, differences in body weight, arm, chest, waist thickness, abdomen, hip, thigh, body mass index and waist/hip variables were found to be significant in the groups themselves, while no significant difference was found between the groups (p>0,05). However, in the leg variable, the difference in the last test values between the groups was found to be significant (p=0,03). As a result, pilates and reformer exercises have positive effects on body composition in women; It has been concluded that reformer is a more effective type of exercise than pilates, and that both types of exercise may vary their levels of impact in different regions of the body.
