Relaxation: A key to longevity and increased performance in sports
An oft-overlooked area in the life of a professional athlete is their time to rest, relax, and
recuperate. How an athlete relaxes has a huge impact on the longevity of their career and how long
they can endure peak performance.
Here’s a look into many relaxation techniques and methods pro athletes do. Peter Max.
Breathing and meditation
Make no mistake about it, an athlete
experiences just as much stress, or even
more than the ordinary person. Not only
does the body take a pummeling during
training and games, but the mind as well is
almost always spent. Breathing exercises
are great for the respiratory and
cardiovascular systems, while meditation
eases the mind and allows it to rest. Peter
Max.
Physical therapy (post-game)
From massages to hot or cold compresses,
physical therapy immediately after a game
is a great way for the body to cool down.
During games, athletes always take their
bodies to the limit. All these physical
therapies keep the muscles from breaking
down and help the body relax. Peter Max.
Light cross-training
Basketball and football players often bike or swim when out of training. This change of pace from
what they usually do is very much welcome, as it takes their minds off their primary tasks and
allows the muscles of the body to do something different. Peter Max.
