The magazine Women & Health publishes the conclusions of the study conducted by doctors Francisco Esparza and Raquel Vaquero, researchers at the International Chair of Cineanthropometry at UCAM, after analyzing a group of women between 25 and 55 who have been more than a year exercising with Pilates.
The difference of this work, carried out with 30 women in the Movement Pilates and Health specialized center, is that so far the benefit of this practice had been demonstrated in sedentary women or who had just begun to practice it.
However, it has now been proven how this practice continues to improve health in the medium and long term, reducing the fat index and generating more muscle mass.
Both doctors also highlight significant differences in other health-related parameters, such as back curvatures, flexibility of the ischiosural muscles or body image.
In addition, "when in the consultation we find patients with spinal problems, herniated discs or lumbalgias that are difficult to solve, we often recommend that they attend Pilates," said those responsible for the investigation.
They also add that in order to have a good health of the musculoskeletal system, the arrangement of the axes of the body, that is to say of the spine, is very important, and therefore its practice is recommended.
