Brief Summary: Background Pilates is a form of structured physical activity that is commonly used in rehabilitation settings and to improve muscular fitness balance and flexibility Despite its popularity it is not known whether the energy expenditure EE and oxygen consumption from Pilates sessions could also lead to metabolic fitness benefits The aim of this study was to quantify the intensity and the EE during two different types of Pilates sessions mat and apparatus Methods 18 healthy females age 22 3 years height 16 01cm body mass 610 100 kg body mass index 21 3 kgcm2 performed two different sessions Each session involved the performance of 15 different exercises Oxygen consumption VO2 was measured continuously and then converted to EE in Kcalmin Blood lactate heart rate HR and blood pressure BP were also measured A repeated measures two-way ANOVA time X group determined differences between types
Detailed Description: The participants attended two half-hour Pilates exercise classes twice a week for one month to familiarize themselves with the exercises and to learn the 5 Pilates principles After the learning period two experimental sessions were performed a Mat Pilates session and a Reformer apparatus Pilates session The order of each session was randomized and drawn beforehand Each experimental session lasted about one and a half hours and the interval between the sessions was 48 hours Participants were asked to not perform any exercise and to refrain from food or fluids except water eight hours prior to each experimental session Prior to the start of the experimental sessions participants received a standard breakfast of 321 kcal that was 76 61 g carbohydrate 8 67 g protein 16 59 fat provided by the study researchers All sessions were conducted at the same time in the morning and the room temperature 22C and humidity 40-50 were controlled during the whole session

Prior to the start of experimental sessions participants rested in a supine position for 15 minutes At the end of the 15 minutes while still supine measurements of BP and resting blood lactate were taken using standard laboratory procedures Participants were then outfitted with a oxygen gas analyzer Metalyzer 3b Cortex Germany Participants were connected by a mask covering mouth and nose to a digital gas flow analyzer Standard calibration before every session was conducted according to the manufacturers instructionsVO2 and HR were then simultaneously recorded for 5 minutes in a sitting position At the end of the 5 minutes the exercise session was started VO2 and HR were monitored continuously throughout the session while BP was assessed during rest intervals between exercises At the end of the exercise session BP and blood lactate were measured one time in a supine position in the post recovery time period VO2 and HR were measured continuously for 5 minutes post session in a sitting position
