Top athletes opt for Pilates – Benefits of the method

More and more professional athletes (basketball players, soccer players, tennis or rugby athletes, marathon runners) have incorporated the Pilates method as a major component in their training. BASE TRAINING SHOWS YOU THE WAY TO SUCCESS PILATES CERTIFICATION The truth is that Pilates now plays a leading role in the top and most popular sports – whether in groups or individually – and can help athletes at all levels.

Reduces the frequency and severity of injuries

By improving their posture through pilates, athletes avoid many common injuries. Pelvic instability is one of the most common causes of injury and is mainly related to incorrect posture. An anterior pelvic tilt is observed, which is more often caused by “tight” hip flexors. This results in weakening core muscles, thus dramatically increasing the chances of injury. The Pilates method is ideal for relaxing the hip flexors, restoring the pelvis to a more neutral posture and reducing substantial stress on the lower back.

Stabilizes the Core

The reformer, one of the basic Pilates equipment, is designed to train the body in various ways. But what’s important  is total body control. It also helps trainers to better understand their athletes’ body weaknesses and where they should put more emphasis on their training. It also helps athletes better stabilize their torso, which will benefit them in improving their performance (in any sport.)

Increases strength

As already mentioned, Pilates focuses on core stability. This stability helps athletes to exercise and produce much more strength, even when they train in the most unusual positions.
