The iprevalence iof ithis istudy iin iundergraduate ifemale iis i86% iand icommunity isample i66%[8]. i

Previous istudies iconcluded ithe ieffects iof imindfulness iamong ifemales iperforming iPilates iand iaerobics iseparately ibut ithere ithat ithere iwas ino icomparative istudy iheld ibefore iin iPakistan. iPilates iand iaerobics iboth ihave ia imassive ieffect ion imindfulness ias imentioned iin iall ithe iprevious istudies. iPeople ihad ino iawareness iabout ithe ieffects iof iPilates iand iprevious istudies iproposed ithat ithey ihave ishort iterm ieffects iso iwe iwant ito imake iaccurate ideclaration iregarding ithis ithat iwill ibe ibased ion iour istudy ifindings.[9]

Rationale

The istudy iwill ihelp ius ito idetermine ithe ieffect iof iPilates iand iaerobics ion imindfulness iand iwill ialso iprovide iawareness ito ithe igeneral ipopulation iabout ithe ieffects iof iPilates. iThis istudy iwill ieducate ipeople ithat ihow ito iovercome itheir istresses iand iprevent itheir ibody ifrom ivarious idiseases iby ilearning ithe ibenefits iof iPilates iand iaerobics. iBy iincorporating ithe ifindings iof ithis istudy iexercise iplans iwould ibe imodified.

Literature Review I

Karen iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle ion i27 iDecember i2014. i iIn ithis istudy ithey iwant ito iobserve ithat iby itaking ipart iin imovement ibased iexercises ilike iPilates ior iyoga ior iaerobics ithe isleep iquality, imood, istress ireduces ior imay ihave ieffect ion imindfulness. iIt iincreases ior idecreases ithe ieffect ion imindfulness ior iwill ihelp iin ibetter isleep. iThis istudy iconcludes ithat imovement ibased iexercise ireduce idepression, ianxiety, ieating idisorders iand istress.[5]

Hector iet ial iconducted ia istudy iregarding imindfulness iand inon imindfulness ibased iexercises ion idepression iin iHong iKong. iIt imainly ifocuses ion ihow ito imanage idepression iby imindfulness iand inon imindfulness iexercises iand ihow iit ireduces ithe ieffect iof idepression. iTo iprolong ithe ieffects iof imindfulness idifferent itechniques iwere iused ias iwell ias ifor ilowering ithe irisk iof idepression. iThe iresult iindicates ithat ithey iare ieffective ifor ishort iterm ionly.[9]

Keira iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle ion i26 iMarch i2017. iA istudy idefines iPilates works ias ia irehabilitation itool ibecause iin imost iof ithe istudies iit iwas iused ifor istretching iand ibreathing icontrol ipurpose. iThis istudy iwas ibasically iconducted ito iobserve ithe iother ibenefits iof iPilates iin idifferent idisorders irather ithan iin iphysical ifitness. iThis istudy ireflects ithat iit iis iuseful ito ireduce ipain iand idisability.[10]

Karl iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle ithat iwas iapproved iin ithe iyear i2018 ion i12 iFebruary iwhich iwas ibased ion imental ihealth ioutcome. iThat idefines iPilates ican iimprove ior ihave ibetter ior iunknown ieffect ion idepression iand ianxiety. iThis istudy iconclude ithat ithey ihave icontrolled iemotions iand iincreases ipeace iof imind ithrough iPilates i.[11]

Hendrick iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle ion i22 iFebruary i2014. iStudy imainly ifocuses ion ithe imen iwho iwere isuffering ifrom idifferent idiseases ilike icancer, iheart iproblem, ichronic ipain, idepression, i ipersonality idisorders iand ithe isessions iof iaerobics iwere iconducted ito isee ithe iresult iwhether iit ican iprevent ior iimprove itheir imental iand iphysical ihealth. iThis istudy ireveals ithat iregular iphysical iactivity imay ienhance ibody iawareness.[12]

Philippe iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle iin iStanford iuniversity iwhich idescribe ihow ia iperson iimagine ihimself iand ithe iview iof ia iperson iabout ihis iown ipersonality, iwhether iit iis iin ipositive isense ior iin inegative iand i iby iperforming iaerobic iexercise ithe iperspective iabout iself iimage ichanges ior inot. iThe iresult iis ithat ithis istudy ineeds ifurther iresearch ito iconclude ithat i,it ineeds imore istress imanagement iprograms ifor ieffective iresults.[13]

Jacob iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle ion i31 iMarch i2018. iThe istudy iwas ispecifically ipointed itowards i8 iweek ibenefits iof iaerobic itraining iand ithe istress ireduction iprogram. iResults iconcluded ithat iit ienhances ithe iphysical iand imental ihealth iof ia iperson iby ireducing ithe istress iand ialso iprevent iour ibody ifrom ivarious idiseases. iThis istudy iconclude ithat iapplication iof itwo iinterventions iare imore ibeneficial ito igot isatisfactory iresult ifor iphysical iactivity.[4]

Kristin iet ial ipublished ia iresearch iarticle ithat iwas iaccepted ion i20 iFebruary i2018. iThis istudy iwas imainly iconducted ifor ithe ifact ithat iwe iall iknow ithat imindfulness ichanges iand iimprovise ithe ihealth ibehavior ibut ithey iall iwanted ito iknow ithat iis ithere ianything ithey ican iimprove ifor ithe ibetterment iof isociety iand iwell ibeing iof ia iperson. iThe iresearch iresults iconcludes ithat isuch itype iof iinterventions ican ihelp ito iimprove ithe imindfulness iand ihealth ibehavior.[3]

iTotal i346 ifemales iwere iselected ifrom idifferent igyms ito ievaluate ithe imindfulness ilevel. iThe ipercentage iof ifemales iperforming iPilates iis islightly ihigher ithan ithe ifemales iperforming iaerobics. iMean iage iof ithe iparticipants iwas ifound i24 iyears. iMean itotal iMASS iscore iwas ifound i59.5 iout iof i90 iand imean iaverage iscore iwas ifound i3.97 iout iof i6 iwhich iindicates ithat iparticipants ihave iabove iaverage idispositional imindfulness. iIndependent isample iT itest iwas iused ifor istudy igroup imatching ion ithe ibasis iof iage. iThere iwas inon-significant idifference ibetween igroups iperforming iPilates iand iaerobics ion ithe ibasis iof iage i(p=.842)

Independent isample it itest iused ito isee ithe idifference iof imindfulness iamong iwomen iperforming iPilates iand iaerobics. iThere iwas ifound inon-significant idifference iof iaverage imindfulness iscore ibetween itwo igroups. iAlthough igroups iinvolved iin iperforming iPilates ihave islightly imore iaverage imindfulness iscore ishowing ip ivalue i228.

A iprevious istudy iconducted iin i2018 iby iAlison ithat iwas ia iphenomenological istudy ito ifind iout ithe irelation iof iPilates ito iphysical iand imental iawareness. iShe isuggested ithat iPilates iis ioriginally icalled i“contrology” icreated iby iJoseph iHubertus iPilates iin ithe i1920s ifor irehabilitation. iPilates iis ito iachieve ifull ibody icoordination, imind iand ispiritually. iShe iwants ito ifind iout iwhether ia idaily ipractice iof iPilates iin imy iwork ior iresting iincrease iawareness iphysically iand imentally. iShe iresearched ion iLBP iand ibody iawareness. iHer iresults ishowed ithat iLBP ireduce isignificantly iby iperforming iPilates idaily. iShe idescribe ithat ibefore iperforming iPilates iwhen ishe isaw iher iin ithe imirror ishe ionly ifound iimperfections ibut inow iwhen ishe isaw iherself ishe ifound ito ibe iconfident iand istrong iand ihad ipositive iimage iabout iher iideal ibody. iThis istudy iresults icontradict iwith iour istudy iresults iin ia iway iit idoesn’t iput iemphasis ion imindfulness iwith iaerobics.[14]

Another istudy iwas iconducted ito iassess ithe ieffects iof imindful iand inon-mindful iexercise iamong ipeople iwith idepression ia irandomized istudy iwas iconducted iamong ithe isample iwas itaken ipeople iaged i18 ior iabove iand ithe iresults ishowed ithat iboth imindful iand inon-mindful iexercise iwere ieffective ifor ishort iterm. iThis istudy ihas ilimitations iso ithat ithey irecommended ithat iwell-controlled istudies ishould ibe iconduct iin ifuture ito ievaluate ithe ishort iand ilong iterm ieffects iof iexercise. iThis istudy isupports iour istudy iin ia iway ithat iaerobics ihave isignificant ibut ishort iterm ieffect ion imindfulness[9]

A iqualitative istudy iwas iconducted ito ievaluate ithe iPilates iand imindfulness irelation. iHe itook ithe isample ifrom iPilates iclass iwith ia icertified iinstructor iand imade i15 ito i18 istudents ito iparticipate iin ithis iprogram ievery ithree idays ifor i50 iminutes. iThis istudy iconcluded ithat istudents iwere iconnected iway imore iwith ieach iother, ibody iawareness iincreases, iability ito iconcentrate iand iconfidence iincreases iand irisk iof iinjury idecreases. iThis istudy isupports iour istudy iresult ithat iPilates ihas isignificant ieffect ion imindfulness.[6]

Another istudy iwas iconducted ito idetermine ithe icomparison iof iMBSR ivs iaerobics. iThe istudy iwas iabout iSAD ito iexamine iwhich ione ihas imore ieffects ito iovercome isocial ianxiety. iIt iwas ia irandomized istudy iwith ififty isix iadult ipatients. iA iself-referential iencoding itask iwas iused ito iexamine ithe ichanges. iThe iresult iof ithis istudy iconcluded ithat iMBSR ihas imore isignificant ieffects ion iSAD ipatients ithan iaerobics. iThis istudy icontradict iwith ipresent istudy iin ia iway ithat iaerobics ihas iless isignificant iresults ithan iMBSR.[13]

Another iprevious istudy ion ideveloping imindfulness iamong icollege istudents ithrough imovement ibased icourses ithat istudy iinclude istudents iof itheir i2007_2008 isession iin i15 iweek iPilates iclasses. iThey iconcluded ithat ibeing iinvolved iin imovement ibased iprogram ioverall imindfulness iscore iincrease iit ialso iimproves isleep iquality, imood, iself-efficacy iand istress. iThis istudy isupport iour istudy idirectly ibecause imindfulness iincrease iby iperforming iPilates.[5]

Conclusion

This istudy iconcluded ithat iPilates iand iaerobics iboth ihave isignificant ieffects ion imindfulness. iAge ihave inon-significant ieffects ion imindfulness iin ifemales iand ithere iwas ifound inon-significant idifference iof iaverage imindfulness iscore ibetween itwo igroups. iAlthough igroups iinvolved iin iperforming iPilates ihave islightly imore iaverage imindfulness iscore. iThe imean iage iis i24. iThis istudy iconcluded ithat ithere iis inon-significant idifference iof imindfulness iadult ifemales iperforming iPilates ivs iaerobics.

Limitation and  Recommendation Limitation      

It iwas idifficult ito ifind ifemale i iparticipants iwho iwere ionly iengage iin i iPilates ior iaerobics imost iof ithe ithem iwere idoing iPilates iand iaerobics iboth i iso iit iwas icomplex ito ifilter ithem. i

Gyms idon’t iallow ius ito icollect idata.

         iParticipants iwere inot icooperative idue ito itheir ibusy iroutines.

Recommendation

The istudy ishould ibe iconducted ion inational ilevel iin iPakistan.

 iA iresearch ishould ibe iconducted ithat iincludes ipregnant iwomen iand ithose iwho ihave imenopause ifor imore isignificant iresults.

More iresearches ishould ibe iconducted iin ifuture ito ievaluate ithe ishort iand ilong iterm ieffects iof iPilates iand iaerobics i
