Sports Specific

Pilates exercise has been proven effective to enhance sports performance for many different sports. Specifically, Pilates is known to be beneficial for golfers, cyclists, equestrians, long and short-distance runners, as well as competitive divers, baseball, football and basketball players. Many sports require good balance skills for quick directional changes. Pilates also helps increase endurance and concentration whilst helping to decrease the chance of injury.

Many pro athletes have discovered that Pilates is a great way cross-train yourself and improve your sport. The repetitive motions of professional or amateur sports can be tough on a body. The same muscles are being used everyday in the same way and that stresses the body. Tendons and ligaments are being strained, and over time imbalances are being trained into the body. Pilates helps you learn how to correctly move your muscles, stretch out all those tight tendons and ligaments and build flexibility back into the body.

Individuals competing in all sporting endeavours can benefit from the breathing, centering and concentration that Pilates demands. You will achieve a higher level of play by adding Pilates to your training routine.
