The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a Pilates exercise period on public health and anxiety in young women during the coronavirus quarantine. This research was a semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design and control group. For this purpose, 50 young women with a mean age of 25± 2 years were randomly selected and divided into experimental and control groups by convenience sampling method from Urmia. The experimental group practiced Pilates online at home for 3 sessions, 60 minutes each week for 8 weeks and the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Dependent variables were measured using the Public Health Questionnaire and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale.
