Product Description

Book Description
Sports Pilates looks at the most common sporting injuries, sport by sport, and shows how you can use the Pilates method of strength building to overcome or prevent injury. Including ways to treat and prevent injuries from football, cricket, golf and tennis, Paul takes you through the Sports Pilates programme. With tailored workouts to choose from, all the exercises are illustrated with easy-to-use artworks.

Having worked with top sports people and Olympic athletes for the past twelve years, Paul is in a unique position to advise on injury prevention and treatment for amateurs and professionals alike. Sports Pilates is an ideal reference book for all the family: Part One looks at the sports and details the most common injuries likely to occur. Part Two looks at the treatment and prevention of injuries through specific Pilates exercises tailored to the injury. This is followed by a fitness maintenance and training programme to help reach your optimum performance. The final part of the book gives an alphabetical listing of the injuries and cross-refers back to Paul’s tailored treatment programme.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough for Pinsent good enough for me, 19 Nov 2004
By A Customer
After hearing that Mathew Pinsent and the rest of the Olympic gold medal team did Pilates I was interested to see how i could implement into my team training regime. Well so far the the rate of injuries has decreased, performance increased but most of all level of enthusiam for training. A great book for anyone serious about being the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, 30 May 2009
Pilates has been used by sports people to treat injuries for a while now, and as someone who does pilates to a high level, and a lot of triathlon, this book has shown me how specific pilates moves can help each of those sports. For anyone who does any kind of sport, and suffers injuries, or wishes to prevent them from reoccuring, then this is a valuable book.
