more energy is required to facilitate that movement. The goal of athletes is to have maximum performance with the most energy conservation. Yoga exercises that improve flexibility and joint range of motion reduce muscle tension and enhance sport biomechanics. This enhancement reduces the amount of energy needed for those movements‚ thus allowing an athlete to perform at higher levels and/or longer intervals. 4) Yoga improves body awareness and focus.
