- Brief Summary
This study aimed to analyze the additional and immediate effect of Pilates method exercises on box jump efficiency in practitioners of an extreme conditioning program. This is a randomized, blind clinical study, whose sample consisted of twenty-seven athletes (aged between 18 and 60 years) divided into the following groups: 1) Pilates Training Group (GTP, n = 13) and 2) Control Group (GC, n = 12). Strength assessments from jump to box, touch from jump to box, balance during drop landing with displacement and area variables, angular deviation from the frontal plane, were obtained through tests on a force platform associated with kinematics before and after immediate exercises of the Pilates method. There were no significant results for the average strength and torque variables, although the values ??were higher for the Pilates group when comparing the post-intervention with the pre-intervention period. For the variables that identify body balance during jumping, there was a significant decrease in the area of ??volunteers in the Pilates group, when compared to the initial pre-Pilates values ??(p=0.0399). The displacement and evaluation of the angular deviation in the frontal plane did not present significant results. A single Pilates session promotes a reduction in the support area as a result of better body balance, but does not promote changes in strength or knee angle changes in the frontal plane during the box jump exercise.
