1 . How yoga can improve athletes’ sports performance

To enhance (提高) their competitive power，athletes are always looking for ways to improve their performance.     1    

Reduce injuries. A major obstacle that athletes face is injuries, which is why so many athletes try their best to put their bodies in the best position to avoid accidents. Weightlifting tends to be the most popular way for athletes to reduce their chances of injuries.    2    The various movements of yoga can build strength and improve flexibility.

Enhance balance and coordination. The next part of how yoga can improve athletes’ sports performance is around balance and coordination.    3    Better balance and coordina- tion can also help prevent injuries, as it enables them to avoid falls and other accidents during a competition.

Improve focus. The mental focus that sports require is also something yoga can help improve.    4    Adopting these breathing techniques can help athletes perform at their best during the later stages of a game when peak performance matters most and their body is already tired.

    5    Range of motion is another huge aspect of sports and is another area where yoga can help. As we mentioned earlier, yoga will improve athletes’ flexibility, and because of that, they will have a greater range of motion. Having a greater range of motion can improve their swing, shot, throw, and more on the playing field.
