Abstract
Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the Effect of eight weeks of selected Pilates training on lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure and fat percentage of women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Ahvaz city.
Subjects and Methods In this semi-experimental study, 20 women with non-alcoholic fatty liver were randomly simple divided into two groups: Pilates training (N=10) with an average age of 42.2±8.68 years and an average weight of 79.8±4.7 kg, and control group (N=10) with an average age of 40.1±8.97 years and an average weight of 80.4±5.10 kg. The training group did Pilates training for 60 minutes three days a week for eight weeks. The control group did not participate in any sports activities. Following data collection, independent samples t-test and analysis of covariance were run and the data were analyzed using SPSS26 software at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results The results of this study showed that  eight weeks of selected Pilates training increased HDL levels and as well as significantly decreased the levels of TC, TG, LDL, VLDL, FBS and indicators blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and body fat percentage in the Pilates training group compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion According to the results of this research Pilates training  can be used to reduce the levels of TC, TG, LDL,VLDL, FBS, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and fat percentage and increase HDL levels.
