Introduction: Pilates is a widespread physical activity and sought due to the responsiveness of its participants. It appears as a form of physical conditioning that seeks the general welfare of the subject. People, in general, are increasingly benefiting from the method as a form of body restructuring, looking for a leveling between flexibility, strength and endurance, and as a way of preventing injuries. Despite all the benefits of the practice of this activity, there are few scientific evidence found until today regarding the results with high performance athletes.
Objective: the aim of this study was to review previous findings regarding the effects of the practice of Pilates for Athletes, whether amateur or not.
Method: papers were selected and analyzed from refereed journals and studies on specific databases.
Results and conclusion: It was observed that the Pilates method brought benefits related to sports performance, coordination, flexibility, muscle strength and posture. Given the lack of data found, there is a need for the development of further studies with athletes in other modalities and with female athletes in general.
