Article Synopsis
- The Pilates method is used in physical training and rehabilitation, but its effectiveness for elderly people is not well-documented.
- Six studies before December 2013 showed mixed results: three suggested improvements in balance, while findings on body composition, adherence, and cardio-metabolic effects were less clear.
- There is strong evidence that Pilates benefits balance in women, but more high-quality research is needed to fully understand its impact on the elderly population overall.
