Abstract

Aim: The aim was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Pilates training and Celery seeds supplementation on serum CRP and ESR level in middle-aged women with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: 40 women with rheumatoid arthritis referred to Shariati Hospital in Tehran (age: 53.10±5.35 years, weight: 62.37±5.93 kg) were randomly divided into Control (n=10), Training and Placebo (n=10), Supplement (n =10) and Supplement + Training (n =10) groups. The training subjects experienced eight weeks of Pilates exercises, three sessions/week at 65% of MHR up to 60 min. the supplementation groups consumed 1.3 g Celery seeds powder three times daily for eight weeks. Results: in spite of serum CRP down regulation in Supplement + Training group (p < 0/05), no significant change were recorded for ESR in this group (p≥0/05). Conclusions: synchronized Pilates training in accompany with Celery seeds supplementation could be beneficial in controlling inflammatory status of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. However, more investigations remain to be done because of the lack of similar evidence and also limitations in this study.
