AB - PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of back and spine stretching exercises using Pilates equipment on the balance control ability, upper trapezius muscle tension, and forced vital capacity (FVC) of normal adults.
METHODS: Sixteen college students attending S University in Chungcheongnam-do were enrolled in this study. Two stretching methods were applied using Pilates equipment. For the evaluation after stretching, the balance ability was measured using Tetrax, and the respiratory rate was measured using a spirometer. The muscle tone at the upper trapezius tender point was assessed using a Myotone.
RESULTS: Among the stability indices, a significant difference in balance after stretching was observed only when the eyes were closed (p < .05). A significant difference in the upper trapezius muscle tone and FVC was noted after stretching (p < .05). After the follow-up, a significant difference was observed only in the FVC (p < .05).
CONCLUSION: Stretching using Pilates equipment increases the balance and breathing capacity while contributing to a reduction in muscle tone.
