الملخص EN

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between the effect of Pilates and weight exercises on some physical and kinematics variables on the butterfly stroke.

The experimental approach was used.

The study was conducted on a sample of (10) students who have been divided into two equal groups and training them for (8) weeks: the first experimental group consists (5) students who have been involved in Pilates exercise training, and the second experimental group consists (5) students who have been involved in strength endurance training.

Physical tests were conducted on each one of the groups, including: strength endurance )Push up test 1minute & Sit Up test1minute), Flexibility (Sit and reach test, Static flexibility test for the trunk and neck& Static Flexibility Test - Shoulder & Wrist).

The following kinematics variables have been measured (time of 25m butterfly swimming, the average of strokes number at 25m butterfly swimming, Average length of strokes, the frequency rate strokes, the speed average of 25 m butterfly stroke & Efficiency index).

All of those variables have been measured using Kinovea analysis system.

The results of the study showed that Pilates exercises better in Flexibility & average strokes length of in butterfly swimming than weight exercise.

The researchers recommended using Pilates exercises in learning and training skills that require flexibility and strength, such as butterfly swimming among physical education faculty.
