Pilates the basis for active sport
Pilates, the basis for any active sport, get to know its great potential.
Christiano Ronaldo uses it, Roger Federer trains with it and so does Tiger Woods. At first glance, the Pilates full-body workout with its leisurely, flowing movements does not look like high-performance sport.
What makes this
training approach special?
Through controlled, precise movements and breathing techniques, Pilates helps to correct muscular imbalances, sharpen body awareness and reduce the risk of injury. These characteristics make Pilates an effective workout for professional athletes who want to improve their performance, as well as for amateur athletes and beginners who want to feel generally fitter and more balanced.
Pilates as
your basis
Whether jogging, football, skating, swimming or climbing – Pilates provides a strong foundation to fulfil your performance limits in any sport. Through the slow and focussed exercises, Pilates improves precise movement sequences and physical coordination.
While the main sport trains certain parts of the body more intensively and focuses on individual movement sequences, Pilates training promises a harmonious, balanced all-round workout. The training prevents one-sided strain and imbalance and helps to ergonomically improve the holistic movement foundation of every athlete, for a greater range of motion with more flexibility.
Pilates in
active sports
The benefits for strength, flexibility and injury prevention: Pilates offers a wide range of benefits for athletes. Supporting their performance as well as recovery phases. The versatile Pilates equipment training is particularly effective. In this way, a healthy posture is consistently cultivated and a strong core is built up. A regular Pilates training also enables quick reactions, increased flexibility and mental strength. The deep muscles of our entire body are developed, stretched and strengthened for a greater performance and a healthy range of motion. Anyone who engages in sport activities can reduce their risk of injury throughout a regular Pilates training.
In competitive sport, Pilates is increasingly being used as a valuable supplement to optimise specific aspects such as core stability, flexibility, coordination and rehabilitation. Pilates is frequently recommended by physiotherapists and sports physicians. Particularly in the field of rehabilitation and prevention.
Pilates at
its core
Pilates is based on six essential principles: Control, concentration, centering, breathing, precision and flow of movement. They help to move the body efficiently and safely, activate the muscles in a targeted manner and execute the movements precisely.
The Pilates exercises follow fixed principles. It starts with centring and breathing rhythm. It is not about speed or hardness. Instead, it’s about perfect execution and paying attention to the muscles in a calm manner. If you are an athlete looking for a balance, you are in good hands with us at the REALZ Pilates Studio.
