The purposes of study was to investigate the effects of Pilates during 8 weeks on body fat rate, aerobic capacity and lower limb isokinetic strength. After we devided 40 subjects with randomized control, investigation group was participated Pilates during 8 weeks and we did body fat evaluation, graded exercise testing and knee isokinetic test before and after Pilates. After Pliates, Body weight, body fat rate, abdominal circumference were significantly reduced. maximal oxygen consumption, metabolic equivalent and aerobic threshold were significantly increased and left right knee extension and flexion peak torque were significantly reduced. In comparison with control group, Pilates group was significantly different in body weight, body fat rate, abdominal circumference difference before and after. Pilates group was significantly different in maximal oxygen consumption, metabolic equivalent ,aerobic threshold and left right knee extension and flexion peak torque difference before and after. In conclusion, Pilates was identified that had effect in beauty care angle and enhancing health conditions.
