Evaluation of the effects of pilates mat exercise program on some fitness parameters and weight loss of middle aged perimenopausal sedentary women

Menopoz, adet kanamasının kalıcı olarak kesildiği zamandır. Perimenopoz düzensiz kanama (6 hafta- 4 ay) veya terleme, sıcak basması gibi vasomotor semptomlar olarak tanımlanır. Bu çalışmaya sıcak basması olgusuna sahip toplam 66 orta yaşlı, kilolu sedanter bayan gönüllü olarak katıldı. Sedanter kadınlardan vücut ağırlığı, vücut kompozisyonu (skinfold kaliper aracılığı ile), bel-kalça oranı, bel çevresi ve vücut yağ yüzdesi verileri elde edildi.ayrıca deneklere bilgi formu aracılığı ile menaposol kanama düzenleri, (vasomotor semptomlar dahil) dereceleri, soruldu. Ölçümler 6 hafta, haftada 3 gün 1 saat uygulanan pilates mat antrenman program öncesinde ve sonrasında alındı. Kontrol grubu 6 hafta boyunca her hangi bir egzersiz programına katılmadı. Egzersiz grubunda kilo, BMI, bel çevresi, bel-kalça oranı, yağ yüzdesi ve vücut kompozisyonu parametrelerinde öntest ve sontest arasında önemli farklılıklar bulundu. Aynı zamanda, kontrol grubunda aynı ölçümlerde öntest ve son test arasında önemli farklılıklar yoktu. Deneklerin cevaplarına gore pilates mat egzersizi vasomotor semptomlardan sıcak basması üzerine önemli derecede etkili olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmanın bulguları pilates mat egzersiz programının kilo kaybı ve vücut kompozisyonu üzerine etkilerini desteklemektedir. Pilates mat egzersizleri, menapozol geçişe maruz kalan bayanlar için uzun süre faydalı olabilir.

Orta yaşlı perimenopozal sedanter bayanlarda pilates mat egzersiz programının kilo kaybı ve fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi

Menopause starts when menstruation permanently cuts off. Perimenopause was defined as irregular bleeding (6 weeks to 4 months) and/or vasomotor symptoms such as sweating and hot flushes (3). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of intermittent exercise on body composition, fat distribution and vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal sedentary women. In this study participated that total 66 middle-aged with the phenomenon of hot flushes overweight sedentary women as volunteers. Body weight, Body composition (via skinfolds caliper), waist hip ratio, waist circumference and body fat percentage were obtained from sedentary women. Besides subjects were asked menopausal bleeding patterns (including vasomotor symptoms) states with information form. The measurements were taken twice as before and after Pilates mat training program being applied a 6-week series of one hour exercise three days per week. The control group did not participate in any activity exercise program during the six-week period. There were significant differences between pretest and posttest for weight, body mass index, waist circumference, waist hip ratio, fat percentage and body composition parameters in exercise group (p<0,05). Also, there were not significant differences between pretest and posttest for same measurements in control group. According to subjects' answers to was found that pilates mat exercise had significantly effective on hot flushes from vasomotor symptoms at sedentary women. As a result, the findings support of pilates mat exercises effects on weight loss and body composition parameters. Pilates mat exercises can have long-term benefits for women undergoing the menopausal transition.
