Analyzing the Quality and Reliability of Pilates Content on YouTube: Insights and Implications for Viewers and Practitioners

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the quality and reliability of Pilates videos available on YouTube. Method: A search was conducted on YouTube using the keyword "Pilates". The top 100 videos, ranked by view count from highest to lowest, were analysed. The scientific reliability and quality of the videos were assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), modified DISCERN, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria. Video popularity was evaluated using the View Ratio (views per day since upload). Results: Among the analysed videos, the median GQS score was 3 (IQR: 2–3), the modified DISCERN score was 3 (IQR: 2–3), and the JAMA score was 3 (IQR: 2–4). Based on the GQS, 42% of the videos were classified as low quality, 42% as moderate quality, and 16% as high quality. Recording location was associated with View Ratio (p < 0.05). Post-hoc comparisons showed that videos recorded inside the home had higher View Ratios than studio-recorded videos (p < 0.05), while videos recorded outside the home had higher View Ratios than those recorded in nature (p < 0.05) and in studios (p < 0.05). View Ratio was not significantly associated with GQS, modified DISCERN, or JAMA scores (all p > 0.05). Conclusion: Quality among the most-viewed Pilates videos was heterogeneous, and online popularity did not correspond to the measured quality and reliability scores. Viewers should therefore avoid using popularity metrics alone as indicators of information quality, while content source characteristics may be associated with differences in measured quality and reliability.

Pilates İçeriklerinin YouTube Üzerindeki Kalite ve Güvenilirliğinin İncelenmesi: İzleyiciler ve Uygulayıcılar İçin İpuçları ve Doğurguları

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, YouTube'da yer alan Pilates videolarının kalitesini ve güvenilirliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: YouTube üzerinden "Pilates" anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak bir arama yapılmıştır. İzlenme sayısına göre en yüksekten en düşüğe doğru sıralanan ilk 100 video analiz edilmiştir. Videoların bilimsel güvenilirliği ve kalitesi; Küresel Kalite Ölçeği (GQS), uyarlanmış DISCERN ve Amerikan Tıp Derneği Dergisi (JAMA) kriterleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Videoların popülerliği ise İzlenme Oranı (yüklendiği günden itibaren günlük izlenme sayısı) ile ölçülmüştür. Bulgular: Analiz edilen videolar arasında medyan GQS puanı 3 (ÇKÇ: 2-3), uyarlanmış DISCERN puanı 3 (ÇKÇ: 2-3) ve JAMA puanı 3 (ÇKÇ: 2-4) olarak bulunmuştur. GQS'ye göre videoların yüzde 42'si düşük kaliteli, yüzde 42'si orta kaliteli ve yüzde 16'sı yüksek kaliteli olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Çekim mekanının İzlenme Oranı ile ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür (p < 0,05). Post-hoc (sonradan yapılan) karşılaştırmalar, ev içinde çekilen videoların stüdyoda çekilen videolara göre daha yüksek İzlenme Oranına sahip olduğunu (p < 0,05); ev dışında çekilen videoların ise doğada (p < 0,05) ve stüdyoda (p < 0,05) çekilenlere göre daha yüksek İzlenme Oranına sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. İzlenme Oranı ile GQS, uyarlanmış DISCERN veya JAMA puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (tüm p > 0,05 değerleri için). Sonuç: En çok izlenen Pilates videoları arasındaki kalite heterojendir (değişkendir) ve çevrim içi popülerlik, ölçülen kalite ve güvenilirlik puanlarıyla örtüşmemektedir. Bu nedenle izleyiciler, bilgi kalitesinin bir göstergesi olarak yalnızca popülerlik metriklerine güvenmekten kaçınmalıdır. Bununla birlikte, içerik kaynağının özellikleri ölçülen kalite ve güvenilirlik farklılıklarıyla ilişkili olabilir.
