Subjects were selected through available sampling and randomly assigned to the Pilates training, Pilates training with vitamin D, vitamin D, and control groups. The Pilates training was performed for eight weeks with the intensity of 50%-75% of reserve heart rate in 3 sessions/week. The supplement groups received 50000IU vitamin D weekly. The levels of hs-CRP and TSH were measured at first and eighth weeks after interventions. The data were analyzed by paired t-test and one-way ANOVA (P˂0.05).
