Abstract

The obesity is recognized as a chronicle disease pointed by several authors as a worldwide epidemic. It's also considered a great risk of the development of chronicdegenerative disease casting as one the worlds bigger cause of morbid and incapacity. Within all the associated problems caused by this pathology are the urge of inflammatory chronic state, decrease of the basal energy expenditure such as the progressive loss of functionality. Lately the adipose tissue has been the main target of researches on obesity due the discovery of its endocrine purpose involved with metabolic and physiologic process that influences the pathology of chronic diseases. Therefore this experimental research is trying to verify the effects of exercises such as the method Pilates are able to increase a health status of obese women concerning the inflammatory, metabolic and physiologic standards. The subjects of this program were 16 females from 29 to 57 years old (average of 43,5 years old) their activities last 8 weeks with the frequency of 3 times a week . Were analyzed in this program the concentration of plasmatic inflammatory cytosine, the daily resting metabolic rate and the functional capacity of the subjects. Verifying that the samples were not the same after the exercises it was applied the Wilcoxon test to compare before practice and the after practice. The obtained results showed that their functional capacity changed with the rates between the before and the after practicing the exercises, they have showed a increase of 89% in the core area of resistance and the ability of sitting and standing up also increased in 42%. Concerning the variable changes in the blood samples studied there were not any significant change in the IL6 and the CRP concentration. Although there were six subjects showing CRP concentration above the average in a before practice stage which stands as a inflammatory subclinical state. About the TMR analyses the obtained results were trough the breathing gases rating and they point the efficient of the applied protocol showing a increase in 121% of the TMR after applying the training, showing an important adaptation of the study subjects. This conditions represents that probably one of the most important aspects in the loss weight control can be tight with the improvement of indicators such as functionality and inflammatory. This research concludes that a protocol of the training method Pilates can help on the improvement of obese woman health state.
