Pilates for Tennis Players
Benefits of Pilates for Tennis
South Beach Fitness proudly offers the Peak Pilates method of Pilates training...For those of you who play tennis, it is no secret that tennis requires agility, stamina, and endurance. Pilates improves your body’s balance for quick reaction to directional changes, improves power of your stroke by increasing the strength of your core (powerhouse), improves muscular control, increases upper and lower body strength, and increases overall flexibility. Furthermore, it produces higher levels of concentration and strengthens and balances the body to prevent injury. Let’s take a closer look at these two benefits. Pilates Improves Concentration. Just like tennis, Pilates requires that you concentrate for a period of time. Pilates sessions are usually 50 to 55 minutes, which require you to concentrate on how to execute a specific movement. You are focusing on what is moving, which muscles you are using, and the quality of the movement. This obviously, requires concentration and a connection between the mind and the body. This in turn, will increase your levels of mental concentration on the court. Pilates Prevents Injury. Tennis players often develop muscular imbalances between their dominant and non-dominant side. A well-designed Pilates program will help the body attain muscular balance both posterior / anterior and also bilaterally. The following are some examples of exercises to target each of these areas.
Shoulders: In order to address the anterior and posterior balances of the shoulder, it is important to keep the external rotators strong. This will increase the power behind the forehand and backhand strokes. Time to hit the courts,Sonia Rodriguez, Peak Pilates Master Trainer
