Pilates
is for everyone. What is less known is how beneficial Pilates is for
the performance of athletes-- it is the perfect way to boost sports
performance, power, strength, as well as lengthening and toning the
whole body. Iso Fit,
located in Central, Hong Kong, offers high-intensity, low-impact
Pilates workouts to help you achieve optimal performance-- and as an
added (and important!) benefit, the training also helps to reduce the
risk of injury. Pilates is an excellent cross-training technique to help
you up your game while training for any sport. There are a wide variety
of professional athletes who benefit from Pilates—from professional
golfers and tennis players to football and NBA players, right through to
athletes like Olympic gold medalist runners like Natasha Hastings.
Here are a few reasons to show that Pilates is actually the perfect cross-training for every athlete:
Building Core Strength and Flexibility
Pilates
mat work is a full-body workout, which concentrates on stabilizing and
strengthening the core (from the shoulder to pelvic girdle; not just the
abs). Core strength supports the back and neck, giving us healthy
posture and strengthens the deep inner stabilizing muscles of the
pelvis, abdomen, and back. This kind of strength and flexibility
training converts well into all kinds of sports and daily physical
activities.
But
note that if you are going to depend on Pilates exclusively for
strength training, you should consider adding resistance exercises
performed on large and small Pilates equipment. This equipment will
expand your options for developing strength beyond your core-- you’ll be
able to focus on building strength in your limbs (arms and legs) as
well.
A
good Pilates instructor is able to help you train your deep intrinsic
stabilizing muscles to work in conjunction with the major muscle groups,
thus creating efficient movement patterns and improving biomechanics
for heightened sports performance.
Correct Imbalances
When
you focus on training for a specific sport, you can create imbalances
in your body due to repetitive movements. Pilates can help correct this,
as it focuses on full body movement and creating equal length and
strength in opposing muscle groups, thus counteracting aches and pains
from repetitive sports training, and possibly preventing minor injuries.
