Abstract
Aim: Aim of this study was investigate of eight week Pilates training on serum levels of paraoxonase-1 and lipid profile on inactive middle-aged men.
Methods: this research was a semi-expreimental study and untrained middle-aged women (45-55 years) of Kerman city that makes up the statistical population. After the call to participate in the study 20 people who were qualified for participate in the study were chosen purposefully, and randomly divided into two groups (each group 10 persons), Pilates group, and the control group. Blood sample were taken from two groups in basal state for evaluation of PON1 and Lipid Profile. Pilate’s group performed the exercises for eight weeks, three sessions per week for 45 minutes. The control group did their normal daily activities and were barred from participating in regular exercise. After eight weeks (within 24 hours after the last training session) was measured physiological markers level as well as PON1 levels and lipid profile. ANCOVA test and Bonferroni's post hoc test was also used to measure the effect of Pilates on the desired indicators at the level of P ≥ 0.05 using SPSS version 22 software.
Result: Our findings suggest that paraoxonase-1 and HDL levels by eight weeks of Pilates training increases in untrained middle-aged women (P=0.001). as well as the study of cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL showed that there was a significant reduction fallowing to eight weeks Pilates (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Findings of this research show that by increasing the paraoxonase-1 and lipid profiles, eight weeks of Pilates training can improve cardiovascular health in untrained middle-aged women.
