Brief Summary
|
Obesity is a significant public health concern, linked to a multitude of chronic conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders such as anterior pelvic tilt (APT). Addressing these disorders is essential to improve overall health and quality of life in this population. Anterior pelvic tilt alters normal biomechanical function, leading to muscle imbalances, increased lumbar lordosis, and reduced functional mobility. This can severely affect daily activities and overall physical performance, necessitating targeted interventions to correct pelvic alignment and enhance mobility. Dynamic balance is critical for maintaining stability during movement and preventing falls. Obese individuals with APT are at a higher risk of balance impairments, making it crucial to identify effective strategies to enhance dynamic balance and reduce fall risk. While Pilates is recognized for its benefits in improving core strength and balance, there is limited research specifically examining its effectiveness in obese young adults with APT. Strengthening the core muscles is fundamental in improving dynamic balance. This study will investigate how a mat Pilates program, focusing on core stability, can help obese young adults with APT achieve better balance. |
