Overview

Brief Summary

The present research aims at evidencing the effect of one of the training methodologies increasingly demanded by the older adult, and used to promote, maintain and enhance physical and biopsychosocial aspects. Consequently, we intend to base the evidence supporting Pilates as an effective method in the following specific aspects: balance, prevention and reduction of falls, and improvement of the quality of life in the older adult
