AB - PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare and analyze the changes in the heart rate and respiratory function of healthy adults following the application of the Pilates dead bug and Swiss ball exercises.
METHODS: This study randomly assigned 30 healthy adults to two groups, with 15 participants in each group. It was conducted as a crossover design in which both groups performed both, the Pilates dead bug and the Swiss ball exercises. The immediate effects on the heart rate, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV ₁), FEV₁/FVC ratio, peak expiratory flow (PEF), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) were assessed before and immediately after the experiment.
RESULTS: The results of this study showed no significant differences between the two exercise groups (p > .05). However, both groups exhibited overall changes over time in their heart rates, MIPs, and MEPs (p < .05). Additionally, only the Pilates dead bug exercise group demonstrated time- dependent changes in PEF (p < .05).
CONCLUSION: Both exercises provide immediate improvements, with the Pilates dead bug exercise resulting in gains in specific respiratory parameters such as PEF. Further research is needed to explore its long-term benefits and potential applications in various populations, including individuals with respiratory or functional impairments.
