Figure 3.

Change in isokinetic trunk strength following 8 weeks of Pilates training. (a) There was a significant change in peak torque of trunk flexors (p < 0.05). (b) There was no significant change in work per repetition of trunk flexors and extensors. (c) Average power per repetition in trunk extensors increased in post-test (p < 0.05). (d) Ratio of trunk flexion/extension strength (F/E) in post-test trended lower than that in pre-test (p = 0.07). All values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 11). Note: * p < 0.05, vs. pre-test.
