Every sport has its own distinctive patterns of movement. Some sports use certain muscles repeatedly while virtually ignoring others, creating the risk of an unbalanced physique. Many sports–golf, tennis, bowling–are one-sided games, leading to muscle imbalances and overworked tight muscles. Others demand more finely tuned efficiency to minimize the potential damage caused by a high-velocity repetitive action, such as pitching in baseball. Impact sports like soccer and football require a high level of conditioning plus a good range of movement around the joints. Common to all is the need to build long, lean muscles without bulk, and to activate the deep core support from foot to head. Pilates addresses these coordinating requirements and is an ideal complement to other training methods.
