What this trial studies

This study investigates how reformer pilates exercises impact posture, core endurance, and body awareness in adolescents aged 10-19. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which will perform pilates exercises twice a week for six weeks, or a control group that will receive educational information on posture. The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed through various endurance tests and posture analysis before and after the six-week period. The goal is to determine if pilates can significantly improve these physical outcomes compared to standard informational support.
