hypertrophy. We have rec<strong>en</strong>tly observed natural asymmetries in the abdominal wall muscles of<br />
healthy se<strong>de</strong>ntaries and athletes (26, 39). In healthy wom<strong>en</strong>, a 4% greater RA thickness (assessed<br />
with ultrasounds) has be<strong>en</strong> reported for the dominant compared to the non-dominant middle<br />
portion (18). Giv<strong>en</strong> the symmetric nature of<strong>Pi<strong>la</strong>tes</strong> exercises we also hypothesized that <strong>Pi<strong>la</strong>tes</strong><br />
may serve to reduce or <strong>el</strong>iminate pre-existing asymmetries in the muscles of the abdominal wall.<br />
Paragraph N umber 3 Therefore, the main aim of this study was to <strong>de</strong>termine the effects of a<br />
standardized 36-week <strong>Pi<strong>la</strong>tes</strong> training program on the volume ofRA, obliques and transversus<br />
abdominis (OT) in non-active healthy wom<strong>en</strong> using magnetic resonance imaging.<br />
