There are five benefits of yoga. They are to improve body balance, core muscle flexibility, joint strength, immunity, and mental focus.
International footballers including Eden Hazard and Antonio Conte also chose yoga as a supporter of fitness and health. Chelsea striker has admitted doing yoga since joining the team based at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Moreover, at this time he was no longer young and began to feel the effects of a decline in fitness after more than 10 years of a career as a professional footballer. “I have started to feel damaged and torn, I have been a professional soccer player for more than 10 years and now I am 27 years old. I’m getting older,” Eden Hazard said.
Conte also chose yoga as a solution to regulate his emotions. “I am very interested in yoga. I also read books related to the sport,” said the coach.
The information on the msn.com page shows that athletes can improve sports skills by increasing balance, strength, and flexibility in the middle body. Not only that, Stuudi showed that many athletes could benefit by adding yoga to their exercise program.
This exercise works to improve flexibility, balance, agility, endurance, middle and overall body strength, all tools that help prevent injury and help recovery. Meanwhile, notes on the Yoganeka.com page show, in general, the benefits of doing yoga for athletes are twofold.
Yoga, first, trains athletes to remain calm even in a stressful state. Second, yoga helps improve balance, alertness, agility, and accelerate recovery from injury.
The type of yoga must be adjusted to the nature of the match that the athlete will face. The goal is to focus athletes right. For example, before facing a big match, focus on yoga that trains breathing. Conversely, after a game or training session that is quite heavy, the model of yoga should be done that is restorative.
Participation
Back to the notes delivered by Celebrity Fitness & Fitness First, until now, more and more people are participating in yoga. “The popularity of yoga continues to grow in Indonesia,” said Indonesia Celebrity Fitness & Fitness Manager David Prosser.
