Abstract: This pilot study investigated the effects of Pilates on the health and functional status of adults. The sample comprised 43 participants of both genders, with a mean age of 41 years. The study was conducted in Belgrade in 2024, in two phases (test-retest). An 11-item questionnaire was developed to gather data on the significance and impact of Pilates on health and functional status. Various descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used in data processing and analysis. The findings indicated a substantial impact of Pilates on participants’ health and functional status, showing a statistically significant improvement from the initial phase to the three-month follow-up after consistent practice. Pilates exercises significantly improved functional performance in adult participants and may be used as a preventive strategy to maintain and enhance physical and mental health, thereby improving quality of life.
