Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 10 weeks Pilates and resistance training on coagulation factors in sedentary women.
Methodology: This is a quasi-experimental study. The statistical population included sedentary and overweight women in Ilam city in the age range of 20 to 45 years, among whom 26 were selected and randomly divided into three groups: Pilates training (n =9), resistance training (n=9) and control (n=8). In resistance group, exercises included performing 9 moves, which were performed in the first week with 60% of a repetition of maximum (RM1) in 2 turns (set) of 15 repetitions and 60 seconds of rest between each turn and motion. The Pilates training included the implementation of 9 moves, which were performed in the first and second weeks with 3 sets of 5 repetitions, and reached the four consecutive 10 repetitions with the principle of overload. To assess the biochemical variables, blood sampling was performed after 12 to 14 hours of fasting and in two stages before and after 10 weeks. For analysis of data, two-way ANOVA with repeated measurements was used.
Results: The results showed that the amount of fibrinogen and PT (prothrombin time) in Pilates and resistance groups were significantly lower than before. also The results showed that PPT (relative thromboplastin time) and platelet count in all three groups did not change.
Discussion: According to the findings of this study, both Pilates and resistance exercises have a positive effect on some coagulation factors, however, there is no difference between the effects of these two methods.
