Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pilates training on core muscle strength and symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Methods
Sixteen patients with allergic rhinitis aged 18-45 years were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=8) and pilates training group (PTG; n=8). Participants in CON group had normal daily living and were not receive training program. Those in PTG group received complete three times a week of pilates training program for ten weeks (60 minutes/time). The physiological data, core muscle strength and nasal congestion assessment were analyzed during the pre- and post-tests. The dependent variables between pre-test and post-tests were analyzed using paired t-test. An independent t-test was used to compare the variables between groups. Differences were considered to be significant at p<.05.
Results
The results indicated that after ten weeks, in the PTG group had significantly increased in core muscle strength variables when compared to pre-test and CON group (p<.05). Moreover, nasal congestion decreased significantly in the PTG group when compared with pre-test and CON group (p<.05).
Conclusion
In conclusion, the present finding demonstrated that 10 weeks of pilates training improved core muscle strength and controlled rhinitis symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis.
