Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To evaluate the effect of exercise program based on Pilates method on biochemical markers of bone turnover in older women. They measured two types of bone turnover markers: the BSAP (reference value: 5.2 -24.4 ng / ml), reflecting bone formation, and CTx (reference value: 0.104 - 1,008ng / ml) , which reflects the bone resorption both analyzed for its concentration in serum.;Serum CTX were not different between the groups, both before (p = 0.991) and after PEBMP (p = 1.000). There was also no significant difference between the two moments, both in the control group (p = 0.996) and in Pilates (p = 1.000). The serum levels of BSAP were not different between the two groups, both before (p = 0.999) and after (p = 0.658) of PEBMP. There was also no significant difference between both times, both in the control group (p = 0.883) and in Pilates (p = 0.992).
