This article presents a theoretical basis for techniques of physical exercises developed by Joseph Pilates. The method, as part of the so-called Body Mind Exercises group, first gained recognition among professional dancers, actors and choreographers but has become more popular and is now regularly applied in sport, fitness and physiotherapy. The paper presents methodological and biomechanical principles of this exercise system (oriented to strengthening the whole muscular system, both deep – stabilizing and superficial – moving parts, interaction „from the core” on the slings forming superficial musculo-fascial system, the work in open and closed kinetic chains). Historical background of the method and principles of performing the exercises using the Pilates Method (concentration, control, centering, breathing, postural alignment, flow, stamina, relaxation) is provided. The paper presents instruments (the Cadillac, the Reformer) and accessories (Swiss Ball, Overball, Tubings) that can be used to enhance the exercise program in the discussed activity improvement system. The final part of the article includes a critical review of physiotherapy and sports medicine literature pertaining to application of the presented method in kinesitherapy of patients at different ages, particularly in elderly people. Prior experience of physiotherapists using this technique in their work has indicated a possibility of applying the technique in the therapy of patients with various neuro-muscular dysfunctions and in sports medicine. The authors hope to encourage the environment of physiotherapists to enhance their professional skills with elements of Pilates’ method.

Purpose. Advancing age is associated with predictable sensory, motor and cognitive changes, which may have a potential impact on an older person's ability to function effectively in society. The purpose of this study was to assess whether two slightly different half-year-long regular training programmes had a positive effect on flexibility, range of motion and endurance in a sample population of elderly persons. Also analysed was which programme was found to be more effective. Methods. A group of women (N = 42, M = 67.1 ± 4.5 years) was chosen from retired persons clubs from Eger, Hungary. They were randomly divided into three groups. The first group (N = 15, M = 66.2 ± 3.8 years) took part in a one-hour-long Pilates training session three times a week, the second group (N = 15, M = 67.1 ± 5.9 years) took part in an aqua-fitness class twice a week with one Pilates class once a week and the third group (N = 12, M = 68.2 ± 3.2 years) was the control group. Pre-and postmeasurements were conducted on: flexion of the right shoulder and hip, lumbar spine flexion, thoracolumbar spine flexion, trunk lateral flexion on the right side, a 6-minute walk test, and a 30-second sit-to-stand test. Significant inter-group differences could be found in all of the measurements. Data were analysed using statistical software with the Paired-Samples T-test and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (p < 0.05). Results. After the six-month regular training programmes no differences were found in the control group. For the two groups subjected to the training programmes all the other variables showed significant differences. The most remarkable results for the Pilates group were with the 6-minute walk and sit-to-stand test, while for the aqua-fitness and Pilates group shoulder and hip flexion. Conclusions. A half-year-long training program can considerably improve the physical performance elderly adults need in everyday life.

Background: Body & mind trainings are forms of aerobics, the aim of which, apart from improving physical fitness, is to additionally provide mental relaxation. The aim of this study was a comparison of physical and mental pro-health effects from practicing Hatha yoga, Pilates and bodyART. Material and methods: Our own self-assessment questionnaire was used assess the impact of selected forms of body & mind training on the physical and mental fitness of people regularly practicing the forms. A group of 81 women practicing Hatha yoga, Pilates or bodyART for a minimum of 2 workouts per week were qualified. Additional inclusion criteria involved at least a 2-month training period and not practicing the other sport disciplines in study period. Results: After regular body & mind training, significant beneficial changes involving primarily the reduction of joint pain and increased flexibility were subjectively noticed by the participants. Changes included a significant reduction of back pain for Hatha yoga and Pilates and reduction of knee pain and improvement of the sense of balance for bodyART. Conclusions: Practicing body & mind forms has a beneficial impact on the perception of psychophysical health, regardless of the type of training, while the bodyART form generally showed the greatest number of effects.

Objective. the goal of this “systematic review” and meta-analysis is to find out the efficacy of exercise regimes on balance in badminton players. Study design. Systematic review and meta-analysis. data Source. Pub Med, “Cochrane database (Cochrane Central register of controlled Trials)”, google Scholar, Springer, and DoAJ. Eligibility criteria. limits were applied to database searches to identify papers published in English and only human studies were included. results. result of Meta – analysis was statistically significant in “anterior component of Y-balance test” (MD = 2.39, 95% ci = 1.90, 2.89; “p ≤ 0.00001”) with low heterogeneity (i² = 0%, p < 0.41). There was statistically significant improvement in postero-medial component of y- balance (MD = 2.87, 95% ci = 0.55, 5.19; p ≤ 0.02) with “moderate heterogeneity” (i² = 39%, p < 0.19). result showed statistically significant improvement in postero-lateral component of y- balance test (MD = 3.09, 95% ci = 0.64, 5.65; p ≤ 0.02) with “moderate heterogeneity (i² = 38%, p < 0.20)”. There was “statistically significant “improvement in overall balance of y-balance test in “experimental group as compared to control group (MD = 8.49, 95% ci = 4.62,12.36; p ≤ 0.0001) with low heterogeneity (i² = 0%, P < 0.47)”. Conclusion. this systematic and meta-analysis concluded that various exercise protocols may result in improvement in the balance of badminton players. PrOSPErO registration number: crD42020193620.
