The Pilates Method has been considered an exercise system that aims to improve flexibility, physical endurance, strength, balance and motor coordination. In this way, many people have sought the Method in search of improving or maintaining health. The aim of the study was to verify the effect of pre-pilates exercise training in the execution of the Hundred exercise by means of surface electromyography in Pilates practitioners. Pilates Practitioners (N= 29) of both gender (average age of 44.31± 12.807 years) were evaluated. This is a quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional study. A protocol was carried out with pre-pilates exercises (fundamentals) and a Hundred exercise. Surface Electromyographic activation analysis were made in the muscles rectus abdominis, transverse abdominal/internal oblique, external oblique and multifidus. The rate of perceived exertion was assessed using the Borg scale, part (36.6%) of the volunteers rated Hundred without pre-pilates lighter than Hundred with pre-Pilates. The smallest part (13.3%) considered Hundred with pre-pilates lighter than without pre-Pilates. The results of the electromyographic analysis did not prove the increase in the electrical activation of the evaluated muscles when performing the Hundred exercise with pre-Pilates in relation to the Hundred without pre-Pilates in practitioners.
