Abstract :ABSTRACT To investigate the effects of Pilates-based exercise programs on girls\\\' quickness and strength. Conducted at a private Pilates studio in Kırıkkale, the research involved 50 female students aged 9-10 years, with 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. A 10-week training program included exercise sessions twice a week, focusing on basic Pilates movements, balance, and strength development. Quickness and strength levels were assessed at the beginning and end of the study using specific tests. Quickness was measured through short-distance running and reaction tests, while strength was assessed by the number of repetitions in various exercises and resistance tests. The findings indicated that Pilates-based exercise programs positively impacted the quickness and strength of the girls. Specifically, Pilates movements were particularly effective in enhancing muscle strength and developing quickness. These results suggest that Pilates exercises can effectively contribute to the physical development of children. It is recommended that educators and coaches implement Pilates-based programs for children, considering the benefits of such exercises.
