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.

Background. Many forms of physical activity have stimulating effects on human mental well-being. That is why it seems important to recognize the health-promoting values of Pilates exercises. Material and methods. The main method applied in the study was a diagnostic survey. In total, 40 women were studied aged 47.6 ± 10.48 years who systematically took part in Pilates classes lasting one hour twice a week. The first group of participants had exercised for up to six months, the second – for over one year. Results. The women confirm the positive effects of regular participation in Pilates classes, associated with a higher probability of achieving the expected results. The respondents participated in Pilates classes to maintain their health (both physical and mental) and also to prepare themselves for fit elderly life. The women noticed that the greatest impact of Pilates classes consisted in an improvement in their physical fitness and energy levels throughout the day. Con­clu­sions. Pilates classes exert a multidimensional impact on the health of the studied women. Thus they can be considered a holistic training method.
