ÖZET
 Amaç: Pilates egzersizleri özellikle kadınlar tarafından tercih edilen en popüler egzersiz türlerinden biri olmakla birlikte son yıllarda reformer, Pilateste kullanılan en gözde alet olmuştur. Fakat reformer egzersizlerinin motor özelliklere etkilerine yönelik bilimsel veriler oldukça sınırlıdır bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, reformer ile yapılan Pilates egzersizlerinin sedanter kadınların denge ve esneklik parametreleri üzerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak 37 sağlıklı sedanter kadın (yaş ortalaması 21,11±0,808 yıl; boy uzunluğu ortalaması 162,22±5,583 cm; vücut ağırlığı ortalaması 55,94±9,088 kg) dâhil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara reformer aletlerinde 8 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün (60 dk/gün) bireysel antrenörlerce Pilates egzersiz programı uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların esneklik performansları otur-eriş testi ile denge performansları ise, Y-denge testi ile belirlenmiş ve değerlendirme için ölçümler ön-test ve son-test olarak alınmıştır. Çalışma sonunda elde edilen verilerin normal dağılım gösterip göstermediği Shapiro-Wilk testi ile belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların ön-test ve son-test değerlerinin karşılaştırılmasında eşleştirilmiş örneklemler t-testi kullanılmış anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre ön-test ve son-test değerleri karşılaştırıldığında esneklik, sağ bacak denge ve sol bacak denge performans parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artışın olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, reformer egzersizlerinin, sedanter kadınlarda esneklik, sağ ve sol bacak denge parametrelerini geliştirmek için kullanılacak etkili bir yöntem olduğu söylenebilir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: While Pilates exercises are particularly preferred by women and have become one of the most popular forms of exercise, in recent years, the reformer, especially used in Pilates, has become a highly favored apparatus. However, there is limited scientific data on the effects of reformer exercises on motor skills. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the impact of Pilates exercises performed with a reformer on the balance and flexibility parameters of sedentary women. Material and Methods: A total of 37 healthy sedentary women (average age 21.11±0.808 years; average height 162.22±5.583 cm; average weight 55.94±9.088 kg) were included in the study on a voluntary basis. Participants underwent a Pilates exercise program on reformer apparatus 3 days a week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes and supervised by individual trainers. Flexibility performance was assessed using the sit-and-reach test, and balance performance was determined using the Y-balance test. Measurements were taken as pre-tests and post-tests. The normal distribution of the obtained data was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The paired samples t-test was used to compare pre-test and post-test values, and a significance level of p<0.05 was accepted. Results: According to the results obtained from the study, a statistically significant increase was observed in flexibility, right leg balance, and left leg balance performance parameters when comparing pre-test and post-test values (p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be said that reformer exercises are an effective method to improve flexibility, as well as right and left leg balance parameters in sedentary women.
