The Effect of Core Stability and Pilates Exercises on Central Stability, Upper and Lower Extremity Function Before and After Core Muscle Functional Fatigue in Non-Athletic Men

Fatigue causes a decrease in voluntary strength, functional capacity of muscles, impaired simultaneous activation of positive and negative muscles, changes in movement pattern and ultimately reduced function and efficiency of the neuromuscular system, which will increase the risk of injury. The main and ultimate goal of the study is whether central stability and Pilates exercises affect central stability, upper and lower limb function before and after functional central muscle fatigue in non-athletic men? Materials and In this study, by selecting ۳۰ volunteers and dividing them into three groups (۱۰ people in each group), the stability of the central body area, upper limb function and lower limb function of the subjects once in normal conditions and once after Fatigue training session was measured. Then, individuals in each group performed the relevant exercises for eight weeks. And functional tests were taken again. After collecting the data, it was analyzed by SPSS software version ۲۲. The findings indicate that the Pilates training group had significantly better performance in the upper and lower performance evaluation tests and central stability than the central stability training group. Discussion & Conclusion : Given that both training methods showed better results in evaluating performance tests, it can be said that Pilates exercises can be used in comparison with central stability exercises for greater effectiveness.
