Improving sport performance by Pilates.

The realities of professional sports.

Regardless of what sport we are talking about, it is worth mentioning that if you want to achieve high sports results, you need time commitment and systematic work. Every competitive sport requires an intelligent and individual training plan that includes heavy training that develops the entire body, improves the athlete's performance, as well as time for regeneration (unfortunately, many coaches skip the regeneration period, which makes super compensation impossible). Unfortunately, every competitive sport can lead to certain body dysfunctions because:

- many sports require asymmetrical body work, which causes frequent compensations and curvatures, e.g. tennis, fencing,

- joint compression (too much load on individual joints), e.g. long-distance running means excessive load on the joints of the foot, or ballroom dancing for women is a sport that burdens the thoracic spine through bending positions,

- disturbed balance between strength and body mobility, e.g. artistic gymnasts have problems with hypermobility due to the amount of stretching of muscles and ligaments, and cyclists have problems with its lack due to the very high strength of muscles working in shortened ranges of motion.

The human body, however, is able to achieve the best results when there is balance in the body. This means that the body requires symmetrical tensions in the body, equality between muscle strength and mobility, and relief of the muscles or joints most exposed to stress.

How pilates helps improve performance in competitive sports.

Pilates practiced 1-3 times a week for 55 minutes has a positive effect on improving results in recreational and competitive sports. How does it happend?

1) Pilates shapes the balance between strength and mobility of muscles and tendons, which improves the endurance of individual muscles and improves the dynamics of their work.

2) Pilates is based on symmetrical work, which helps reduce the amount of compensation in the body. This means that the exerciser can very quickly detect which part of his body or, more precisely, a muscle, is so inefficient (weak or overtired) that another part of the body or another muscle works for two (this causes excessive load on given muscles and causes the body to tense up). and shortening of individual muscles).

3) The main objective of Pilates exercises is to strengthen the deep "core" muscles, which has a positive impact on the correct body posture, thanks to which the exerciser reduces excessive load on joints that are particularly exposed to this (depending on the sport discipline). This can be compared to working against gravity.

4) Pilates training is very conscious work, thanks to which the athlete can learn more about the needs of his body and more quickly detect fatigue of specific muscles caused by overtraining, an inappropriate training plan or deficiency.
