An interventional study of Mat Pilates outdoor and Mat pilates closed environment in Cognition Disorders, sponsored by Letícia Maria Da Silva. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 60 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-27.
Sponsored by Letícia Maria Da Silva · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Introduction: As individuals age, the quality of cognitive function becomes an increasingly important topic. Elderly people, naturally, due to the aging process, may experience a reduction in cognitive function. Through the Pilates Method, greater cognitive performance can be generated, related to concentration and reasoning. Objectives: to evaluate the effects of practicing Mat Pilates outdoors on the neurophysiological parameters of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial study. Initially, the participants will be evaluated and the MoCA neurocognitive test will be applied. Before starting the Mat Pilates protocol, participants will undergo neurophysiological analysis, using electroencephalogram. Participants will undergo a group Mat Pilates protocol in the open air, lasting 60 minutes, which will be developed on two days during the week, on non-consecutive days. For each exercise, a series of 10 to 12 repetitions will be performed for each exercise, with a total duration of 6 weeks. At the end of the care protocol, participants will be reassessed

People of both sexes, 60 years of age or older, who have not been diagnosed with dementia. Those with a MOCA score between 18 and 25, which indicates mild cognitive impairment, will be included. Those who can attend Pilates sessions regularly, have not had surgery in the last six months, and have no restrictions recommended by their doctor.
Exclusion Criteria:
People with any degenerative neurological condition, people with a history of traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness, use of central nervous system depressant medications, major depression and epilepsy will be excluded from this research.

Participants will undergo a 60-minute group Mat Pilates protocol outdoors, which will be performed on two non-consecutive days during the week. For each exercise, sets of 10 to 12 repetitions will be performed, lasting a total of 6 weeks. The exercises will follow the following order: preparation exercises, mobility exercises, strengthening exercises, and relaxation exercises, all of which will be associated with breathing.

Microstate analysis
(1) The average duration for which a given microstate remains stable, (2) the frequency of occurrence of each microstate, regardless of its individual duration, (3) the fraction of the total recording time during which a given microstate is dominant (i.e., coverage), and (4) the global variance explained by each microstate.
Time frame: After 6 weeks.
cognitive function screening
Memory, attention, concentration, working memory, executive functions such as planning and organization, visuospatial abilities, language, and orientation to time and place will be assessed.
Time frame: After 6 weeks.
Plan to share: No
