Effect of mat pilates on body awareness and physical activity levels in sedentary women in emerging adulthood: a randomized controlled study.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07362277 (The Effect of Mat Pilates on Body Composition and Physical Activity Levels in Sedentary Women Emerging Adulthood), which is not on this map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundIt was designed to examine the effects of mat Pilates on body awareness and physical activity levels in sedentary women during the transition to adulthood.
methodsIndividuals’ body awareness was assessed using the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), and physical activity level was assessed using the Tegner Physical Activity Questionnaire (TAS) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-Sf). Clinical Trial Registration Number (NCT07362277) Retrospectively registered date (12/23/2025).
resultsThis study included 88 participants; mean scores were reported for the Pilates group (n = 42) and the control group (n = 46). Body awareness, assessed using the BAQ, significantly increased over time in the mat pilates Exercise group (F = 5.287, p = 0.024). The effect size of this time-dependent difference was moderate (ηp2 = 0.058). TAS increased significantly over time (F = 9.547, p = 0.003) and showed a significant time*group interaction (F = 4.646, p = 0.034). The effect size of this difference over time is moderate (pη2 = 0.100). IPAQ-Sf increased significantly over time (F = 16.518, p < 0.001) and showed a significant time*group interaction (F = 27.682, p < 0.001). The effect size of this difference over time is large (pη2 = 0.161).
conclusionSix-week mat pilates program increased body awareness and physical activity levels in sedentary women in emerging adulthood.
