Update from Robyn Rix (05 February 2023):
       

• There are now 621 studies available to search
• All studies have the year published, author and title, although I still need to do a final check to make sure there are no errors
• I have added a search by category although I need to do a final check that the category and condition is correct
• Following that, I will ensure there is a link to each article. Sometimes this will only give access to the abstract, especially if the study is behind a pay wall.

Notes:

• these are preliminary results. Some information is missing & I am working to fill in the gaps as soon as I can
• there may also be errors in the material. Once I have checked everything, I will ask if you see any mistakes, to please let me know 
• recent studies (2020 to 2023) are being added progressively
• protocols and trials with unpublished results have not been included
• if one study covers multiple conditions, the study is listed under each condition
• comments are mine and not the opinion of the Pilates Alliance of Australasia
