Office workers are at the highest risk due to prolonged occupational sitting; a lifestyle factor heavily linked to various musculoskeletal disorders. While maintaining an upright posture relies on the synergistic coordination of deep core muscles, extended sitting disrupts this muscular balance, leading to chronic postural decay. Although Pilates is proven to improve core muscle thickness, enhance physical fitness, and alleviate low back pain, existing literature shows high variability in training durations (ranging from 6 to 16 weeks) and lacks definitive conclusions regarding its long-term, residual effects post-intervention. Consequently, it remains unclear whether the benefits of Pilates can be sustained once the structured training stops. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Pilates on core stability and physical fitness among sedentary individuals, providing insights into sustainable exercise interventions.",[27,28],"Sedentary Behaviors","Core Muscle Weakness",[30,31,32,33,34],"core muscle","core stability","physical inactivity","pilates","sedentary behaviors","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-23",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-06-26","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":21},"2026-08",{"date":43,"type":21},"2027-12",{"name":45,"class":46},"Mahidol University","OTHER",1,{"id":49,"slug":50,"hasResults":11,"nctId":51,"briefTitle":52,"officialTitle":53,"acronym":54,"eligibilityCriteria":55,"healthyVolunteers":56,"sex":16,"minAge":57,"maxAge":58,"enrollmentInfo":59,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":61,"briefSummary":62,"conditions":63,"keywords":67,"overallStatus":35,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":75,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":76,"startDateStruct":78,"completionDateStruct":80,"leadSponsor":82,"locationsCount":47},"100594895","core-training-for-musculoskeletal-health-a-study-on-adaptive-exercise-protocols-100594895","NCT07025395","\"CORE Training for Musculoskeletal Health: A Study on Adaptive Exercise Protocols\"","Development and Implementation of a Core Training Protocol: Effects on Muscle Activation, Hypertrophy, Balance, and Quality of Life in Recreationally Active Adults","RCT-EMG-US-QoL","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Aged 25-35 years\n* Physically active (≥3 sessions\u002Fweek, ≥1 hour per session) for ≥2 years\n* No known musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, or neurological disorders\n* No engagement in structured core training programs\n* Available to attend all evaluation appointments\n* Able and willing to commit to the 8-week intervention program\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Medical conditions that limit full-body or trunk movement\n* Cardiovascular\u002Fmetabolic conditions contraindicating high-intensity exercise\n* Current participation in Pilates, CrossFit, or other core-specific protocols\n* Recent musculoskeletal injury affecting training eligibility",true,"25 Years","35 Years",{"count":60,"type":21},40,[24],"This study aims to evaluate the effects of an adaptive core training protocol that integrates core stability, core strength, and high-intensity core power exercises on muscle activation, hypertrophy, balance, and quality of life.
