Pilates & Summer Sports<\/b><\/p>\n
Swimming, golf and cycling.<\/b><\/p>\n
The practice of the original Pilates method is increasingly common among athletes, both elite and amateur, as a complement to their physical preparation, as it is considered the basis of effective, healthy and safe movement. Its training increases performance and improves the quality of the sporting gesture and prevents injuries or conditions due to muscular or joint imbalances. We show you its main benefits in three favourite summer sports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n SWIMMING. <\/b>With the in-depth work of the <\/span>powerhouse<\/span><\/i> The Pilates energy centre improves the technique in the water, gaining strength and precision. In addition, the musculature is lengthened and gains in elasticity, which translates into agility. The lower back becomes more flexible and stronger, providing stability and avoiding hyperlordosis. Pilates also improves respiratory capacity, combating fatigue. And thanks to the postural correction work, a better horizontal position in balance is achieved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n GOLF.<\/b> This sport is considered unilateral, as it is always performed on the same side and with the same gesture, causing muscular imbalances that shorten the muscles most in demand and weaken those less involved. Pilates helps to find symmetry, readjusting the balance of strength necessary for the muscle chains to be strengthened or stretched as needed. The posture and balance work of the method strengthens the back and limbs. And by maintaining stability between the lumbar, pelvis and hips, better rotation, control and speed are achieved with less effort in the execution of the most precise gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n CYCLING<\/b>. Combining Pilates with cycling strengthens the <\/span>powerhouse<\/span><\/i>, The exercise is designed to lengthen muscle chains that are shortened by overuse, promote elasticity and flexibility, and tone the back muscles of the trunk. By promoting better body posture, it combats dorsal hyperkyphosis and excessive tension in the neck, back and lower back. It also provides good trunk stability and a correct and powerful pedalling performance.<\/span><\/p>\n
