Abstract

Purpose: This systematic review aims to describe and summarise the effects of Pilates exercises (PE) on athletic performance in athletes.
Methods: The published literature was reviewed in the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS between 01.01.2010 and 01.01.2022. The articles were determined according to the PICO criteria (population, application, comparison, and results) using the keywords "pilates training", "pilates exercises", and "pilates and athlete performance" in the title and abstract sections. The titles and abstracts of articles were screened for relevance to the main research topic of this study.
Results: A total of 151 articles were identified from the database search. Twelve articles were included in the systematic review. The results showed that the studies carried out PE practice between four weeks and 14 weeks. Also, it was found that, PE helps to improve postural stability, static and dynamic balance, agility, muscle strength, flexibility, core strength, muscular endurance, general sprint performance, VO2 max level, coordination, and technical skills in athletes.
Conclusion: Coaches and sports performance specialists can help athletes improve their physical performance and core strength levels by including PE in their training programmes.

PİLATES EGZERSİZLERİ SPOR PERFORMANSINI NASIL ETKİLER? SİSTEMATİK DERLEME

Abstract

Amaç: Bu sistematik derlemenin amacı, pilates egzersizlerinin sporcularda atletik performans gelişimi üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Mevcut araştırmada, Pubmed, Web of Science (WOS) ve Scopus gibi veri tabanlarında başlık, ve özet kısımları içerisinde "pilates antrenmanı", "pilates egzersizleri" ve "pilates ve sporcu performansı" anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak 01.01.2010 ile 01.01.2022 tarihleri arasında yayımlanan bilimsel hakemli dergilerdeki makalelerin bir listesi çıkarılmıştır. Makaleler PICO kriterlerine (popülasyon, uygulama, karşılaştırma ve sonuçlar) göre belirlenmiştir.
Sonuçlar: Veri tabanlarında yapılan tarama sonucunda yüz elli bir (151) makaleye ulaşılmıştır. Ulaşılan makalelerin başlıkları ve özetleri daha sonra bu çalışmanın ana araştırma konusuyla ilgisi açısından taranmış ve sonuç olarak dahil edilecek makale sayısı on ikiye (12) indirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına incelendiğinde, çalışmalarda pilates egzersiz uygulamaları dört hafta ile on dört hafta arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aynı zamanda araştırmalarda pilates antrenmanının sporcularda postüral stabilite, statik ve dinamik denge, çeviklik, kas gücü, esneklik, core kuvveti, kas dayanıklılığı, genel sprint performansı, VO2 max seviyesi, koordinasyon ve teknik beceriyi geliştirmeye yardımcı olduğu görülmüştür.
Tartışma: Bu sistematik derlemenin sonuçlarına göre antrenörler ve fizyoterapistler, pilates egzersizlerini antrenman programlarına dahil ederek sporcuların fiziksel performanslarını ve core kuvvet seviyelerini geliştirmelerine yardımcı olabilirler.
