Benefits Of Pilates For Athletes

Pilates is a beneficial exercise for athletes, as it helps to improve strength, flexibility and balance. It works the core muscles which are essential in many sports such as swimming, boxing, running, cycling and many other. Pilates also develops coordination and stability of the body’s center of gravity, helping to prevent injuries from occurring when playing high impact sports. Athletes who practice pilates on a regular basis experience improved range of motion, better posture and increased muscle control throughout their entire body. So I highly recommend Pilates as a way to supplement existing training routines and prevent injury. With its focus on core stability and postural alignment, it's no wonder why so many athletes are turning to this low impact but effective form of exercise.
