摘要：AbstractThis paper aimed to investigate the benefits that implementation of Pilates working principles in the fitness programs for adults can have upon the psycho-motric capacity. The studied sample was randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were involved for 16 weeks in a specific fitness program, targeting all major muscle groups of the body. The difference in the applicative intervention was that the experimental group was instructed in Pilates working principals - using basic Pilates exercises included in the warm-up section - and was constantly reminded to respect them during the entire workout. Final testing revealed significantly greater improvements for the experimental group in all investigated aspects of Psycho-motric capacity.
