Objectives: to analyze the effects of the Pilates Method on balance, muscle strength and flexibility in elderly women.
Method: interventional study with elderly women from the city of Maringá - PR. They were evaluated for balance, flexibility and muscular strength. At the end of the evaluation, physical therapy sessions were started, consisting of 10 sessions, performed in a group, lasting 60 minutes, using the Pilates Method in the soil. Statistical analysis was performed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, followed by the t / Wilcoxon test, and the t / Mann-Whitney test, adopting 5% as an index of significance.
Results: improvement of all variables, being: 10.71% for flexibility, 25.47% for balance, 46.05% for abdominal muscle strength and 65.44% for trunk extensor muscles.
Conclusions: the Pilates Solo method proved to be effective in improving all variables studied in elderly women.
