Abstract

Exercise techniques, such as Pilates, have beneficial effects on physical and neuropsychological characteristics. The effects of exercises on physical and neuropsychological features have been heavily examined throughout the previous years. The purpose of this study is to analysis impact of Pilates exercises on academic achievement with regards to motivation, attention, anxiety by using the fuzzy logic and comparing the results with traditional statistical methods. Ninety students taking the course titled “Adolescent Psychology” from the Faculty of Education of Near East University (North Cyprus) participated in this study. Psychological variables were gathered using the internationally recognized tests of Test Anxiety Inventory, d2 Test of Attention and the Academic Motivation Scale. The results indicate that using the fuzzy logic allows researchers to handle the imprecision and vagueness inherence of input data in depth and develop the more reliable model for computing input–output relations.
