简要总结
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of a pilates-based exercise program on hamstring flexibility, plantar pressure sensation, and dynamic balance in university students aged 18 to 24 years.
Participants diagnosed with hamstring tightness through the Sit and Reach test will be randomly assigned to an exercise group and a control group. The intervention group will undergo an 8-week pilates-based home and supervised exercise program. Outcomes will be evaluated before and after the intervention using Sit and Reach, monofilament sensory testing, and the Y Balance Test.
The study seeks to identify whether a non-invasive physical activity like pilates can improve neuromuscular and sensory parameters in young adults.
