Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to compare the acute effects of Wunda Chair Pilates and mat-based Pilates exercises on balance performance in healthy adult women. It will also examine which type of Pilates exercise provides a more immediate improvement in balance. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do Wunda Chair Pilates exercises lead to greater improvements in balance compared to mat-based Pilates after a single session? Are there differences between the two exercise approaches in terms of static balance, dynamic balance, and functional mobility? Researchers will compare Wunda Chair Pilates with mat-based Pilates to determine which method is more effective in enhancing acute balance performance. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either a Wunda Chair Pilates group or a mat-based Pilates group Perform a single 45-minute exercise session according to their assigned group Complete balance assessments (Single Leg Stance Test, Timed Up and Go Test, and Y-Balance Test) before and immediately after the exercise session

Arms & Interventions
Interventions
Participants in the Chair exercise group will perform an instrument-based Pilates program designed to improve balance and core stability. The exercises will be structured as 1 set of 12 repetitions and will include controlled movements against spring resistance, as well as positions involving loading on a narrow base of support. The exercise session is expected to last approximately 35 minutes.
Mat Pilates exercises are designed to improve balance control, core stability, and lower extremity muscle coordination. The program consists of static and dynamic balance exercises performed on the mat, with emphasis on maintaining proper postural alignment and core activation throughout the exercises. A BOSU device will be used in some of the exercises.
