摘要：Cruz TMF, Rosa FO, Marchetti PH, Luna NMS, Fedele TA, Greve JMA, Rodrigues MB, Verlengia R, Lopes CR. The Morphological and Performance Response of Pilates Training in Active Women. JEPonline 2016;19(6):52-63. The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle activation and fatigue post high volume Pilates training and the acute implications on the strength performance and morphological responses related to muscle tissue of lower limb. Twelve healthy young trained women performed one session of Pilates using a Wunda Chair. In two distinct moments (preand post-intervention), transverse relaxation time (T2)- weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images and isokinetic test evaluations of the lower limbs were recorded. There were significant increases in T2 signal intensity post-intervention for the gluteus maximus and throughout the muscle portion (proximal, medial, and distal) of the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris. There were significant decreases in performance from pre- to post-intervention in peak torque, total work, and average power of the extension moment. However, in the 53 flexion moment, there were no significant differences in performance between pre- and postintervention. The findings confirm that the Pilates method, when applied with the control of variables such as time series, repetitions, and rest intervals, promotes a modification of muscle strength and volume of the affected muscular groups. The ability to manipulate training variables when applied to Pilates apparatus promotes similar acute changes as reported in strength training studies.
