Interventions

Name	Type	Description	Arm Group Labels	Other Names
Pilates exercise program	Other	The Pilates Exercise Program (PEP) (1 h x 2 sessions per week x 2 months) was delivered by one Pilates professional (with a mean of 6.5 years of experience in Pilates). The PEP carried out by Pilates instructor has been published in a previous study [31]. The exercises focused on core stability, posture, breathing, flexibility, strength, and muscle control, being the active awareness of the use of trunk muscles to stabilize the pelvic-lumbar region the main approach. The exercises performed were: the hundred, the rolled up, single leg circles with bent leg, spine stretch, rolling like a ball and single leg stretch. Each exercise was performed as follows: 4 repetitions of 30 seconds with 2 minutes of recovery between repetitions. In order to complete the 60 minutes session two exercises: the "superman" and the double leg bridge were added to the mentioned PEP.

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
FRR was calculated by dividing the maximal EMG amplitude during flexion by the minimum EMG amplitude at full flexion. The mean of the 3 trials performed was used to determine the FRR for each muscle for each subject.	A lower FRR indicated a greater state of muscle relaxation. Asymmetry in muscle activity between both (right and left) ES muscles was calculated as their mean difference in RMS in the three flexion-extension tasks. Asymmetry in the FRR was calculated as the absolute difference between FRR of the right and left ES muscles.	2 months

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Full TFRoM was calculated as the average TFRoM from the three flexion-extension tasks.	To obtain the full trunk flexion ROM (TFRoM), the angular position of the inertial EMG sensor (attached with a kinesio-tape at T3 vertebrae) was measured from the start to the end of the flexion movement.	2 months
The version adapted to the Spanish population of the Low Back Outcome Score (LBOS) questionnaire was used to measure self-reported functional capacity.
