Beck Hopelessness Scale, Happiness Level Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, State Anxiety Scale, and demographic information form were used to collect the study's data. A pilates exercise test was applied to female convicts in prison in the study, and measurements were made before and after the experiment. The study was tested using the one-way analysis of variance (OneWay ANOVA) and independent single sample test (T-test) . The research population consists of 16 women. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between continuous variables. SPSS 24.0 statistical package program was used for data analysis, and the statistical significance level was accepted as 0.05. The study results showed a positive change in the scores obtained from the psychological scales applied with the pre-study anthropometric measurements of the female prisoners in the Closed Penitentiary Institution, but when the pre-test and post-test averages were compared, it was observed that there was no significant change.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Woman, prisoner, pilates, exercise. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

An individual who enters the prison may have to get away from his daily life, family, home, and many essential stimuli and be with people who have similar problems.  \nAccording to the World Health Organization (2013) data, the number of people staying in prisons worldwide has increased exponentially in the last decade.  \nPrisoners' health status is worse compared to the general population, with a higher risk of morbidity, mortality, and mental impairment due to drug, alcohol ,  \nand smoking and a significant reduction in physical activity. Prison conditions can lead to negative situations such as anxiety, depression, despair, loneliness, and suicide (Deaton et al. , 2009-2010; Keaveny and Zauszniewski, 1999; Özkürkçügil, 1998) .  \nThe insufficient opportunities to exercise regularly prevents prisoners from enjoying the positive results of physical activity. Most prisoners have low motivation for sports activities, and it is difficult to say that prisoners'awareness of this issue is high. As a result, there is a high risk of developing diseases such as obesity, heart diseases, hypertension, and diabetes, which are closely related to inactivity among those staying in prison.  \nAfr Educ Res J 834  \nIn addition, research has shown that lack of physical activity negatively affects the psychological state of prisoners. High rates of anxiety, stress and depression, and low self-esteem have been reported among prisoners. Moreover, prisoners' aggression and antisocial behaviour are common (Honey, 1995) . High levels of boredom, loneliness, and insecurity , self-harm, and suicide are common among prisoners.  \n","cbCais523YB6Z4Tx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais523YB6Z4Tx","pdf",240942,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What does the study investigate about the 8-week exercise program?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates effects on BMI change, happiness, psychological stability, hopelessness, and state anxiety among women convicts in prison.\"},{\"question\":\"Which instruments were used to collect the study’s data?\",\"answer\":\"The study used Beck Hopelessness Scale, Happiness Level Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, State Anxiety Scale, and demographic information.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the results analyzed and what level of significance was used?\",\"answer\":\"One-way ANOVA, independent-samples T-test, and Pearson correlation were performed in SPSS 24.0, with statistical significance set at 0.05.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Vol. 9 - Issue 4 - Full Length Research Paper | PDF",1792071135,28]
