Abstract

Introduction: In older ages dissatisfaction with Body Image tends to be frequent. Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify if practitioners of the modified basic Pilates method have their body image altered after activity interruption. Method: The sample consisted of 10 healthy women aged between 49 to 65 years. The instrument used to verify changes in Body Image was the Body Image Measurement Scale. Results: The result of the study indicated that there was maintenance or improvement of the body image after six months without the practice of this physical activity. Conclusion: It was concluded that the interruption of the practice of Pilates did not interfere in the participants’ body image.
