How Pilates Exercises and Mindful Movement Help Athletes Boost Performance and Prevent Injury

Why are elite athletes increasingly adding Pilates exercises and mindful movement to their training regimens?

Adopting a regular Pilates and mindful movement workout routine can have many benefits for athletes. This form of mind-body exercise counterbalances athletes’ high-intensity training regimens. It helps them work on other areas of the body or aspects of their training that cannot be fulfilled or may be neglected by other, higher-intensity athletic approaches.

For example, Pilates and mindful movement exercises can help athletes develop their neuromotor skills, spatial awareness and dynamic stability within the movement. All of these contribute to preventing potential injury in their game or performance.

How do Pilates and mindful movement help performance, injury prevention and rehab?

Pilates and mindful movement provide muscle strengthening and endurance, and also teach people how power is transmitted throughout the body. This is particularly beneficial for athletes because it helps them enhance their motor control, which contributes to an athlete’s performance development and injury prevention.
