AB  - Bu çalışma, sedanter kadınlarda Aerial Yoga ve Reformer Pilates uygulamalarının core stabilizasyonu, esneklik ve denge üzerindeki etkilerini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmaya, 18-35 yaş aralığında ve son 6 ay içinde düzenli egzersiz yapmamış 36 kadın katılmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele olarak Reformer Pilates (n=12), Aerial Yoga (n=12) ve kontrol (n=12) gruplarına ayrılmıştır. Müdahale süreci, 8 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün olacak şekilde planlanmıştır. Çalışma bulguları, Reformer Pilates’in denge, core stabilizasyonu ve esneklik üzerinde anlamlı iyileşmeler sağladığını göstermektedir (p0,05). Kontrol grubunda herhangi bir değişiklik saptanmamıştır. Reformer Pilates’in, kas-iskelet sistemi stabilitesini ve proprioseptif geri bildirimi artırarak postural kontrolü geliştirdiği düşünülmektedir. Aerial Yoga’nın ise yerçekimi destekli hareket paternleriyle kas esnekliğini artırdığı ancak denge ve core stabilizasyonuna doğrudan katkısının sınırlı olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışma bulguları; Reformer Pilates’in postüral kontrol ve core stabilizasyonunu artırmada daha etkili olduğunu, Aerial Yoga’nın ise esneklik gelişimine daha fazla katkı sağladığını ortaya koymuştur. Bu doğrultuda, Reformer Pilates ve Aerial Yoga gibi farklı egzersiz yaklaşımlarının hedefe yönelik seçimi, bireylerin fiziksel kapasite gelişimini optimize etmek açısından önemli bir strateji olarak değerlendirilebilir.

N2  - This study aims to compare the effects of Aerial Yoga and Reformer Pilates on core stabilization, flexibility, and balance in sedentary women. The study included 36 women aged 18-35 who had not exercised regularly in the last 6 months. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: Reformer Pilates (n=12), Aerial Yoga (n=12), and a control group (n=12). The intervention lasted for 8 weeks, with sessions conducted three times per week. The findings indicate that Reformer Pilates led to significant improvements in balance, core stabilization, and flexibility (p0,05). No changes were observed in the control group. It is suggested that Reformer Pilates enhances postural control by increasing musculoskeletal stability and proprioceptive feedback. Aerial Yoga, on the other hand, appears to improve muscle flexibility through gravity-assisted movement patterns but has limited direct effects on balance and core stabilization. These results suggest that Reformer Pilates is more effective in enhancing postural control and core stabilization, whereas Aerial Yoga primarily contributes to flexibility improvement. The findings provide valuable insights into selecting appropriate exercise programs based on individual physical goals and contribute to the understanding of exercise interventions aimed at improving physical fitness.
