Eight-Week Pilates or Whole-Body High-Intensity Interval Training Program Improves Spinal Range of Motion During the Gait Cycle in Sedentary Women: A Preliminary Study.

This study aimed to compare the effects of Pilates (PIL) and whole-body high-intensity interval training (WBHIIT) on the spinal curvature of sedentary women. After being invited, 26 sedentary women aged between 20 and 54 voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The sample was obtained through convenience sampling, and the participants chose either PIL or WBHIIT, which resulted in 13 participants in each group.
