摘要：
Purpose. To assess the effects of an 11-week Pilates exercise program on the functional capacity of young sedentary women.
Methods. Ten subjects underwent the shuttle walking test. A portable metabolic system was used during the shuttle walking test to measure the maximum heart rate and VO₂ max. The heart rate recovery and the predicted maximal heart rate were also assessed.
Results. The findings showed increased walking distance, maximum heart rate and heart rate recovery after completing the protocol. The peak of VO₂ was not significantly different but showed a tendency to increase, being significantly correlated with the covered distance.
Conclusions. The current results suggest that Pilates exercises significantly improve walking functional capacity.
