About

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pilates training on symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis.

Full description

Twenty allergic rhinitis patients aged 18 - 35 years were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=9) and pilates training group (PTG; n=11). Participants in CON group do their daily routine without receiving any training program, while those in PTG group completed receiving pilates training program three time a week for ten week-long (60 minutes/time). The physiological data, rhinitis symptoms, cytokines, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength were analyzed during the pre-test and post-tests. The dependent variables between pre-test and post-tests were analyzed by paired t-test. The rhinitis symptoms and cytokines variables between pre-test and post-test were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. In addition, an independent t-test was used to compare the variables between groups. Statistical significance was defined as p < .05.
