Implications of the Pilates Method for balance in elderly women
Abstract
Based on the growth in world life expectancy, which has increased too much in recent years, several studies are being carried out in order to improve the quality of life of the elderly who face difficulties such as the loss of balance potential, as well as motor and gait impairments, mainly in women due to hormonal changes that they undergo throughout their lives. Exercises such as the Pilates method are considered adequate for muscle strengthening thus preserving the functional capacity of the elderly, therefore, the present study aimed to carry out a literature review on the results of the Pilates method on the balance of elderly woman.
