Resumo
Breathing is an active process that depends on the action of the respiratory muscles to occur
the variation of pressure required for entry and exit of air from the lungs, and the Pilates is a
training mode that has as one of its basic principles the care of breathing while performing the
exercises. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether respiratory kinematics is amended by
practicing mat Pilates. For this, the three-dimensional kinematic analysis of the breathing
movements of 35 healthy women (21 Pilates group and 14 in control group) in tidal volume
and vital capacity maneuvers for achieving mobility of the upper chest, abdomen and lower
chest was performed, as well as the contribution of magazines for the expansion and
coordination between these compartments before and after 24 training sessions in the method.
The expandability and the contribution of magazines were evaluated by the range and the
coordination by the phase angle. After training, both current volume and in vital capacity was
increased expandability of the chest wall and all compartments and the upper chest now has a
contribution to the expansion similar to the abdomen. Coordination between the lower chest
and abdomen decreased vital capacity after training. In the second evaluation, the control
group had increased expandability upper chest in vital capacity and no change in the phase
angle, and the results of the contribution percentage remained the same: an increased
contribution of the abdomen for the current volume and a greater contribution upper chest and
abdomen to the vital capacity. The practice of Pilates suggests a better activation of the
muscles responsible for the expansion of the chest wall in a quiet, maximum breathing. Better
activation of accessory muscles that act on inspiration, especially in the upper chest, may
explain the fact that the upper chest and abdomen also contribute to the expansion of the chest
wall after training. However, the practice of mat Pilates seems to improve coordination
between the compartments in women with low initial levels of phase angle. We conclude that
the practice of mat Pilates for 12 weeks improves the scalability of the chest wall, increases
the contribution of the upper chest for this expansion and did not improve on the coordination
between the compartments. It is proving to be a promising tool for the improvement or
maintenance of satisfactory thoracoabdominal expandability for good respiratory mechanics.
