BackgroundScapular stabilization and muscular strength is important for achieving appropriate scapular movement and preventing shoulder injuries related to sports. Pilates exercises have positive effect on the muscle strength, stabilisation of joints and improving physical fitness.ObjectiveThe aim of our study was to investigate the effect of regular pilates exercises on scapular stabilization.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingCyprus International University.Patients (or Participants)70 subjects has included fort his study. 35 subjects who performed regular pilates exercises 2–3 days a week for at least 6 months in rehabilitation and exercises clinic as Group 1 and 35 subjects with sedentary lifestyle as Group2 diveded into two groups.Interventions (or assessment of risk factors)Group 1 performed clinical pilates exercises which included 8 different exercises (shoulder, back, arms, abdominals and legs exercises) for 45–60 min every section. Group 2 had a sedentary life style with less than 1 day exercises or sport in a week.Main outcome measurementsScapular muscle strength of serratus anterior, lower trapezius, middle trapezius, upper trapezius were evaluated with Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer for both of groups.ResultsAs a result of the study, there are statistically significant difference between two groups in the serratus anterior muscle (p=0,029), lower trapezius muscle (p<0,001), middle trapezius muscle (p<0,001), upper trapezius muscle (p=0,001) in favour of group 1.ConclusionsPilates exercises have positive effects on scapular muscle strength. It is recommended that clinical pilates exercises should be included in exercise programs to maintain scapular stabilization, and to prevent shoulder injuries.
