Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Pilates training practice on the respiratory system, joint mobility, and muscle strength of healthy middle-aged women with sedentary occupation. Methods: Thirty-two healthy women (age 45.4 ± 2.3 years, range 40–49 years; body mass 73.5 ± 1.5 kg; body height 1.70 ± 0.03 m) were recruited and randomised into experimental (n = 18) and control (n = 14) groups. The experimental group participated in a 12-week series of 1-hour Pilates workouts (beginner level) three times per week. Results: After intervention, the experimental group revealed significant positive changes in the vital capacity test (p = .05), Stange test (p = .001), and Gencha test (p = .001). Respiratory rate and body mass index improved slightly. All joint mobility and muscle strength variables of the partici-pants showed significant differences compared with the baseline data (p .05). The most significant improvements were observed in variables of the shoulder girdle mobility during flexion (p Держатели документа: Scopus Доп.точки доступа: Prikhodko, Anna; Приходько, Ганна Іванівна; Bodrenkova, Inna; Бодренкова, Інна Олексіївна; Hrynchenko, Ihor; Vashchenko, Ivan; Honchar, Roman; Коломійцева, Ольга Едуардівна
