Participants will be randomly assigned into three groups: Combined intervention group: Pilates plus resistance training Single intervention group: Pilates alone Control group: Advices only All interventions will be delivered 3 times per week for 8 weeks, with outcome measures assessed at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and follow-up (16 weeks).
