The word flexibility means to bend, therefore, refers to the extensibility of periarticulate tissues to allow normal physiological movement. Flexibility has qualitative importante in sports and recreational performance of the human being. The main techniques for developing Flexibility ate active stretching, passe stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. The Physical Education is one of the áreas that address the training os these physical skills, and has the most diferent resources for this purpose. In this context, Pilates is characterized as one of therapeutic purposes and as a complementary therapy for the tratment of postural imbalances. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the flexibility response of the muscles constituting the posterior muscular chain globally. Therefore, before the Pilates protocol was applied immediately after the interventions, an analytical, interventional, randomized clinical trial study was performed using a convenience sample. Flexibility was assessed by goniometry using the LABIFIE Dantas protocol. The results found in the present study suggest that the Pilates program works to improve the flexibility of the posterior chain muscles. It is concluded at the end of this study that the Pilates method may not have increased the individuals’ degree of flexibility by the number of sessions applied either weekly or by the interference of training performed by participants outside de present study.
