Study population: 70 Women, 35 Sedentary and 35 Doing Regular Clinical Pilates Exercise

Brief summary: The aim of this study was to compare the parameters of scapular muscular endurance, scapular stabilization, scapular dyskinesia, upper extremity functional status and postural alignment of adult women aged between 40-65 years old who were performing clinical pilates exercises regularly compared with sedentary adult women in the same age group and to determine whether regular exercise had an effect on these parameters.

Detailed description: The aim of this study was to compare the parameters of scapular muscular endurance, scapular stabilization, scapular dyskinesia, upper extremity functional status and postural alignment of adult women aged between 40-65 years old who were performing clinical pilates exercises regularly compared with sedentary adult women in the same age group and to determine whether regular exercise had an effect on these parameters. A total of 70 individuals were included in the study, including 35 individuals performing regular clinical pilates exercises and 35 individuals with sedentary lifestyles. Clinical pilates group was selected from the individuals who participated in the exercise program under the control of a physiotherapist regularly for 1 hour, 2-3 days a week for at least 6 months. Socio-demographic characteristics, health status and exercise habits of the participants were recorded. For scapular muscle strength assessment, digital hand dynamometer; for scapular muscular endurance assessment, Scapular Muscular Endurance Test (SMET) and Shoulder External Rotation Fatigue Protocol; for the assessment of scapular dyskinesia, Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) and Lennie test; for assessment of upper extremity functional status, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH); for the assessment of postural alignment, the New York Posture Assessment Test were used.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Individuals who perform clinical pilates exercises regularly for at least 6 months and at least 2 days a week (pilates group)
* Individuals who are not actively involved in any sports and do not exercise / physical activity regularly (sedentary group)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Individuals diagnosed with scoliosis or any other orthopedic and neurological problems
* Individuals who have had any diagnosis / treatment or had previous surgery due to shoulder and shoulder circumference problems in the last 6 months
* Individuals with shoulder elevations less than 140 degrees
