Effects of Pilates Matwork on Physical Performance Outcomes in Brazilian Hip-Hop Dancers: A Randomized Single-Blinded Pilot Study

These preliminary findings do not establish efficacy and require confirmation in larger, adequately powered trials to clarify their practical relevance for Hip-Hop dancers.
