PESTANA, Maria Dida Silva et al. Pilates versus resistance exercise on the serum levels of hs-CRP, in the abdominal circumference and body mass index (BMI) in elderly individuals. []. , 12, 1, pp.128-140. ISSN 1646-107X.  https://doi.org/10.6063/motricidade.6682.

^len^aRecent studies have shown that the elderly exhibit a subclinical state of inflammation associated with increased adipose tissue and several comorbidities. To compare the effects of mat Pilates based exercises and resistance exercise on the serum levels of reactive C protein of high sensitivity (hs-CRP), in the abdominal circumference (AC) and the body mass index (BMI) in the elderly. It is a randomised clinical trial with a sample of 78 elderly individuals (median age 69 years). The active independent variable investigated was nature of treatment intervention (Pilates mat based exercises vs resistance exercise), and the dependent variables were hs-CRP level, AC and BMI. The statistical analysis used Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney tests. The correlation between the continuous variables was assessed using Spearman’s coefficient of correlation. The data were analysed using SPSS software version 17.0, and probability values lower than 5% (p< 0.05) were considered statistically significant. Mat Pilates based exercises exhibited reductions in serum hs-CPR level (Wilcoxon signed rank test; z = -2.466, p = 0.01), BMI (Wilcoxon signed rank test; z = -3.295, p = 0.001) and AC (Wilcoxon signed rank test; z = -3.398, p = 0.01). Mat Pilates based exercises promoted a significant reduction of the serum hs-CRP levels and anthropometric measurements in elderly individuals.^lpt^aPesquisas recentes demonstram que os idosos apresentam um estado subclínico de inflamação, associado ao aumento de tecido adiposo e a várias comorbidades. Comparamos os efeitos de exercícios baseados Pilates mat e exercício resistido sobre os níveis séricos de proteína C reativa de alta sensibilidade (PCR-hs), na circunferência abdominal (CA) e no índice de massa corporal (IMC) em idosos. Trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado, com amostra de 78 idosos (idade mediana de 69 anos). As variáveis independentes ativas estudadas foram o Pilates mat e exercício resistido; as variáveis dependentes foram a PCR-hs, CA e IMC. A análise estatística utilizada foi baseada em testes não paramétricos de Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney. A correlação entre as variáveis contínuas foi avaliada por meio do coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, os dados foram analisados pelo programa SPSS, versão 17.0; a probabilidade do valor inferior a 5% foi considerada estatisticamente significante. Exercícios baseados em Pilates mat exibiram reduções nos níveis séricos de PCR-hs (Wilcoxon signed rank; z = -2.466, p = 0.01), IMC (Wilcoxon signed rank; z = -3.295, p = 0.001) e AC (Wilcoxon signed rank;. z = -3.398, p = 0.01). Exercícios baseados em Pilates mat promoveram uma redução significativa dos níveis séricos de PCR-hs e medidas antropométricas em idosos.
