Effect of Different Volumes of Training of Pilates Exercises on Elderly

Pilates Method exercises performed on the apparatus, on the ground and with accessories. They will always be performed by a physiotherapist with teaching certification in the Pilates methodology and will be supervised by two properly trained physiotherapy trainees. Participants will start the exercise program in small groups of up to 8 people, twice a week for 60 minutes, for 12 weeks, totaling 24 sessions. The first day of intervention for both groups will be devoted to explaining the six principles described by Joseph Pilates: centralization, concentration, control, precision, fluidity and breathing, and some fundamentals such as the neutral position of the spine. And in all sessions, these principles will be remembered by the physiotherapist.
