Effects of Pilates-Interventional Program on Calcaneus-Bone Density Parameters of Adult Women

Physical exercise has a positive influence on bone tissue and therefore, is recommended in order to prevent the bone mass loss during the aging process. Similarly, normally practice of exercise potentially prevents the incidence of osteoporosis and bone fractures in adult women. In order to evaluate...
