Abstract

Background and Objectives: Fatigue is a complications of MS and is associated with the level of physical fitness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Pilates training on aerobic and anaerobic power and fatigue index was women with MS.
Subjects and Methods: In this study, 30 women with MS were selected by purposive sampling method and were placed in two Pilates training and control groups. Pilates training consisted of eight weeks, three sessions/week and each session consists of Pilates exercises under the supervision of researchers. Anaerobic power and capacity, peak oxygen consumption and fatigue index were measured before and after of intervention. Data analyzed by t-test (P ≤ 0.05).
Results: The results showed that a significant increase in anaerobic power and capacity, peak oxygen consumption and reduction in fatigue index in the Pilates group compared to the control group (P > 0.001).
Conclusion: According to these findings, Pilates training are appropriate training methods to improve the aerobic and anaerobic power and with this training method can improve the patient's fitness and reduce fatigue rate.
