- The primary goal of this paper is to assess the effects of Pilates exercises on some elements of physical fitness, such as flexibility, trunk muscle strength, general balance, and body composition during a 6-month observation period. The experimental method was used in the study. The variables were verified using selected elements of an internationally used test called “Eurofit” for adults, namely, trunk muscle strength, flexibility, and general balance. The study was comprised of 17 women with an average age of 50.65±13.74, who met the inclusion criteria. Average study results show that class participants made the greatest progress with regard to flexibility and trunk muscle strength. The study results show that Pilates classes are an effective training method, especially as far as improving flexibility and trunk muscle strength is concerned.
