Brief summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pilates training on symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis.

Detailed description: Twenty allergic rhinitis patients aged 18 - 35 years were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=9) and pilates training group (PTG; n=11). Participants in CON group do their daily routine without receiving any training program, while those in PTG group completed receiving pilates training program three time a week for ten week-long (60 minutes/time). The physiological data, rhinitis symptoms, cytokines, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength were analyzed during the pre-test and post-tests. The dependent variables between pre-test and post-tests were analyzed by paired t-test. The rhinitis symptoms and cytokines variables between pre-test and post-test were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. In addition, an independent t-test was used to compare the variables between groups. Statistical significance was defined as p \< .05.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* the persistent allergic rhinitis who had rhinitis symptoms more than 4 days a week and positive skin prick test to house dust mite were recruited
* stopped taking all medicine before the study sus as antihistamine for 3 days, oral steroid and nasal steroid for at least 2 weeks and leukotriene receptor antagonist for at least a week prior to the study
* had no exercise program, non-smoking and without any food supplementation for at least 6 months prior to the start of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* had complications with allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, ear tube malfunctions, asthma, lung cancer, emphysema, lower back pain, tendinitis and arthritis
