PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks springboard pilates on bone mineral density ‹BMD › and functional movement, muscle mass of female college students. METHODS: Twenty-four female college students ‹aged 21.6 ± 1.3yrs, T-score -0.01 ± 0.62 › were divided into two groups, as the pilates group ‹PG, n=12 › and the control group ‹CG, n=12 ›. The pilates springboard exercise was conducted 3 times a week for 60 minutes for 12 weeks. RESULTS: There was significant interaction in the functional movement items such as trunk stability push up ‹p <.05 › and hurdle step ‹p <.001 › , total FMS score ‹p <.05 › . CONCLUSION: These results suggest that although prolonged springboard pilates exercise of healthy college women might be improving functional movement, there is no increasing effect of BMD and muscle mass.
