Abstract
Background: Breathing is the essential step of Pilates exercise and can be used to activate core muscles. Although the effects of breathing exercise on pain, breathing muscles, and cervical posture have been extensively studied, little is known about the impact of Pilates breathing on spinal posture and alignment. Purpose: To determine the effect of 3D-Pilates breathing exercise on spinal curvature and alignment of healthy adults during corrected to normal alignment. Design: One group pre-post test design Methods: Eighteen participants were given a 3D-pilates breathing exercise twice a week (20 minutes per session) for three weeks and warmed up for 10 minutes before each exercise session. To examine spinal curvature and alignment of each subject, this study used radiation free rasterstereography (Formetric III, Germany). Paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were performed to determine the difference between pre and post exercise. Results: There were statistically significant differences in height (p<.001), kyphosis angle (p<.05), trunk imbalance (p<.05), kyphotic apex (p<.01), cervical fleche (p<.05), pelvic tilt (p<.01), and lateral deviation (p<.05) between before and after 3D Pilates breathing exercise. However, there was no significant difference in lordosis angle. Conclusions: The study results indicated that three week 3D-pilates breathing exercise program could be presented as an effective rehabilitation method for improving spinal curvature and alignment.

三星期 3D 普拉提呼吸運動對健康成人脊柱彎曲、軀幹不平衡和排列的影響
背景：呼吸是普拉提運動必不可少的步驟，可以用來激活核心肌肉。儘管呼吸運動對疼痛、呼吸肌和頸椎姿勢的影響已得到廣泛研究，但人們對普拉提呼吸對脊柱姿勢和排列的影響知之甚少。
目的：確定 3D 普拉提呼吸運動對健康成人脊柱彎曲和矯正到正常排列期間的排列的影響。
設計：一組前後測試設計 方法：18 名參與者每週進行兩次 3D 普拉提呼吸練習（每次 20 分鐘），持續三週，並在每次練習前熱身 10 分鐘。為了檢查每個受試者的脊柱曲率和排列，本研究使用無輻射光柵立體成像術（Formetric III，德國）。進行配對 t 檢驗和 Wilcoxon 符號秩檢驗以確定運動前後的差異。結果：身高 (p<.001)、脊柱後凸角度 (p<.05)、軀幹不平衡 (p<.05)、脊柱後凸 (p<.01)、頸椎後凸 (p<.05) 存在統計學顯著差異)、骨盆傾斜 (p<.01) 和 3D 普拉提呼吸運動前後的橫向偏差 (p<.05)。然而，前凸角沒有顯著差異。
結論：研究結果表明，為期三週的 3D 普拉提呼吸運動計劃可以作為改善脊柱彎曲度和排列的有效康復方法。在身高 (p<.001)、脊柱後凸角 (p<.05)、軀幹失衡 (p<.05)、脊柱後凸 (p<.01)、頸椎後凸 (p<.05)、 3D 普拉提呼吸運動前後的骨盆傾斜度 (p<.01) 和橫向偏差 (p<.05)。
然而，前凸角沒有顯著差異。結論：研究結果表明，為期三週的 3D 普拉提呼吸運動計劃可以作為改善脊柱彎曲度和排列的有效康復方法。

Effects of Three Week 3D Pilates Breathing Exercise on Spinal Curvature, Trunk Imbalance and Alignment of Healthy Adults
RESULTS
Change of height, kyphosis angle, lordosis angle, trunk imbalance, kyphotic apex and cervical fleche after Pilates breathing exercise.
Pilates breathing exercise significantly increased height temporarily (p <.001), kyphosis and trunk imbalance were significantly decreased (p <.05). Besides, the kyphotic apex was significantly improved (p <.01), and cervical fleche was significantly decreased (p <.05). However, the lordosis angle did not show significant changes.
普拉提呼吸練習後身高、後凸角、前凸角、軀幹失衡、脊柱後凸、頸椎曲度的變化。
普拉提呼吸運動顯著增高暫時
脊柱後凸和軀幹失衡顯著減少
此外，脊柱後凸明顯改善
並且頸椎彎度(端)顯著下降
然而，前凸角確實沒有表現出明顯的變化。
