Efectos del método Pilates en la fuerza del cinturón abdomino lumbar en hombres en edad universitaria

The muscular imbalance (MI) is the imbalance of the resistance force, characteristic that affects the different population groups where the Pilates mat (PM) method with elastic band (PMB) was adopted as a primary strategy to prevent possible injuries. The purpose of this research was to identify the training effect of a pmb program on MI in isometric strength in trunk extension in university men aged 18 to 25 years over a period of eight weeks. The experimental quantitative research was conducted with men of 18 to 25 years old, who performed less than 150 minutes of physical activity per week and signed informed consent. Individuals who had practiced any of the modalities of PM were excluded, as well as those who presented lesions, osteomuscular disorders, neuromotor disorders, with a history of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease and smokers. The sample was 44 individuals, 22 GC and 22 GI. For data analysis, SPSS software version 24.0 was used. No significant differences of p > 0.05 were found in the analyzed variable. The PMB did not generate significant changes between groups. The scientific evidence reveals that the effects of pm should be investigated, because the studies carried out are not sufficient to affirm the benefits attributed to it.
