Regular Pilates and fitness class participants vs non exercisers. A comparison of functional strength capacity

Pilates is a mind-body exercise program gaining in popularity and acceptance by health and physical activity professionals, but there is a scarcity of scientific research. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional strength capacity between three groups: regular exercisers of Pilates Method, regular fitness class participants, and a non-exercisers group (regular exercise=at least 2days per week for three consecutive months).
