Effects of Pilates on Body Awareness

This study aims to investigate the effects of an 8-week mat Pilates exercise program on body awareness, posture, flexibility, and life satisfaction in healthy women aged 30-50 years. A total of 38 sedentary women will be allocated into a Pilates exercise group or a control group. The intervention group will participate in supervised Pilates sessions twice weekly, while the control group will maintain their usual lifestyle without structured exercise. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention using validated measures of body awareness, postural alignment, flexibility, and self-reported satisfaction. The findings of this study are expected to clarify the potential benefits of Pilates exercise in improving physical and psychosocial well-being in healthy adult women.
