An Evaluation of Postgraduate Theses on the Pilates Exercise Discipline

Abstract

Analyzing studies to identify under-researched topics in the sports sciences is critically important. This study aimed to examine postgraduate theses published in Turkey in Pilates across various variables. It is believed that our research will be beneficial for researchers in determining study subjects and methods in Pilates. The theses analyzed in this research consisted of electronically accessible theses from the National Thesis Center database of the Turkish Higher Education Council (YÖKTEZ). Accordingly, 208 postgraduate theses were examined, including 165 master's theses, 38 doctoral, and five specialist theses in Medicine. This study utilized the document analysis technique, a qualitative research method. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS 27 statistical software package. As a result, it was determined that the first study on Pilates was conducted in 2005 at Muğla University, and no thesis on Pilates could be accessed before that year. The number of these has increased since 2022. As of 2023, despite the rapid proliferation of theses on Pilates, this number was found to be insufficient in previous years. As of June 2024, the number of published theses on Pilates has been identified. Regarding the distribution of academic studies on Pilates by subject area, it was found that the highest number of studies were in the fields of Doctorate in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (n=17), specialists in physical Medicine and rehabilitation (n=3), and master's degree in physiotherapy and rehabilitation (n=66), followed by sports (n=65). In the past decade, Pilates has evolved from being primarily utilized by dancers to becoming popular in mainstream exercise and injury rehabilitation. Given the increasing popularity and interest in Pilates, current research in this field is believed to contribute significantly to sports and science.
