The effect of a weight-loss diet on body composition in women reformer pilates for 12 weeks was compared in this study. It compares dietary habits and macro and micronutrient intakes in subjects with and without a weight-loss diet at the start and end of the study.
A total of 49 women (18 years old) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control (CG: reformer pilates; n=23) or study (SG: reformer pilates + weight-loss diet; n=26). Subjects in both groups did pilates for 45 minutes three times a week for a total of 12 weeks. At the start and end of the study, their body weight (kg), waist circumference (cm), hip circumference (cm), neck circumference (cm), mid-upper arm circumference (cm), and body composition [body fat (% ), body water (% ), body muscle (% )] were all measured. Their waist/height ratio and body mass index (kg/m2) were also measured at the start and end of the study. All subjects' dietary habits were questioned, their 24-hour retrospective food consumption was recorded, and their physical activity levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Short Form).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Study Group | Experimental | The study group does reformer pilates for 45 minutes 3 days a week. The intensity of the workouts was gradually increased. Warm-up (10 minutes), main Pilates training activity (25 minutes), and cool-down (10 minutes) were the three parts of each session (10 minutes). In addition to pilates, the women in the SG followed a personalized weight loss diet. In accordance with Turkey Dietary Guidelines, these diet plans were designed to provide 45-60% of energy from carbohydrates, 10-20% from protein, and 20-35 percent from fat. |
