Abstract
This study (1) analyzes the differences between non-participating and participating older
women in terms of clinical characteristics, pain coping strategies, health-related quality of life
and physical activity (PA); (2) studies the associations between non-participants and participants,
clinical characteristics, pain coping strategies, HRQoL and bodily pain and PA; and (3) determines
whether catastrophizing, physical role, behavioural coping, social functioning and emotional role
are significant mediators in the link between participating in a Pilates-aerobic program (or not)
and bodily pain. The sample comprised 340 older women over 60 years old. Participants of the
present cross-sectional study completed measures of clinical characteristics: HRQoL using the SF-36
Health Survey, pain-coping strategies using the Vanderbilt Pain Management Inventory (VPMI) and
PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
