Letter to the Editor, 'Influence of a Pilates exercise program on the quality of life of sedentary elderly people: A randomized clinical trial'

摘要

The Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies recently published an article in 2018 by Liposcki, D.B., et al., entitled "Influence of a Pilates exercise program on the quality of life of sedentary elderly people: A randomized clinical trial" (Liposcki et al., 2018). We have read the article with interest and gathered knowledge about the effect of Pilates exercise on quality of life of sedentary elderly people. However, we noticed some elements that require more clarification from the authors.The first point is that, in the Table 1, the p-value is expressed as 0.00, which is not an appropriate way of expressing it (though in SPSS it is expressed in raw data). Rather it should be expressed as <0.001 (Greenland et al., 2016).
