The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Pilates training with celery seed supplementation on middle-aged women with rheumatoid arthritis to determine its effecting on the Antinuclear Antibodies levels (ANA) rheumatoid arthritis patients. Forty women with rheumatoid arthritis with mean age (53.80 ± 3.71) were randomly divided into four groups: control group (N = 10), supplement group (N = 10), exercise group (N = 10), exercise group with celery seed consumption (N = 10) and all groups (40). The exercise and exercise groups were performed with celery seed training for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week (30–60 min) at an intensity of (35–65%) of maximum heart rate. The supplementation group supplemented with celery seed supplement three times daily after meal, and after eight weeks of exercise Blood samples were taken 24 h before the study and 48 h after the last training session. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Celery seed supplementation and Pilates training had no significant decrease on rheumatoid arthritis (P = 0.274). The results of the present study showed that eight weeks of Pilates training with celery seed supplement led to decline (ANA) in middle-aged women with rheumatoid arthritis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
