Yoga For Sport - Really?

When it comes to staying fit and healthy, and training as productively as they can, professional sportsmen can be incredibly resourceful. It is not uncommon to hear, for example, of professional boxers exercising with a garbage bag worn as a vest underneath their shirt - in order to sweat off the crucial pounds that enable them to make the weight in time for the next fight - which is resourceful if nothing else. But how many professional sportsmen would admit they do yoga as part of their fitness regime? One can imagine that it is not many.

The truth is that there are a lot of sportsmen and even entire teams who have found that the many health benefits of doing yoga are having a real effect on their training regimes. The increased flexibility and muscle control that it bestows upon a sports professional is something that you would be insane to reject. For all that it has been pigeonholed as being mystic, and indeed feminine, yoga can help anyone who plays a sport. For a linebacker who needs to get an early jump on a quarterback, to a golfer who needs to keep the right lines to hit with accuracy, yoga is simply indispensable.

If any sportsman - professional or otherwise - or sportswoman, yoga is a choice that makes so much sense. You could sit back and snicker behind your hand at the idea of a 300lb man sitting in the lotus position - but if he's been doing yoga the chances are he's more nimble than you think, so do it quietly.
