Alongside strength and flexibility training, this improvement in performance is achieved through enhanced movement efficiency. A more efficient movement, achieved through correct technique, results in lower energy expenditure, enabling the athlete to maintain the same level of performance for a longer period.<\/p>\n\n        <p>Furthermore, Pilates strengthens the core, the abdomen and the muscles that support the spine. All of this, combined with improved body awareness, balance and flexibility, makes all the difference when it comes to competition, regardless of the sport chosen.<\/p>\n\n        <h2>Football<\/h2>\n        <p>Playing football at a high level or at amateur level places great demands on the body, particularly on the legs and the ability to absorb impact and maintain balance when challenging for the ball.<\/p>\n\n        <p><strong>Key benefits in football:<\/strong> Pilates helps footballers develop their balance, control and deep muscle strength. This results in much more efficient movements (such as turning, passing and shooting), with muscle strength and endurance maintained much more consistently over the course of the 90-minute match.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"pnf-callout\" style=\"margin-top: 40px; text-align: center;\">\n            <p><strong>External reference:<\/strong> This article is a reproduction\/curated piece.<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/revistapilates.com.br\/8-esportes-que-beneficiam-do-pilates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"pnf-article-cta\" style=\"display: inline-block; margin-top: 10px;\">Access the original article in the journal *Pilates*<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Focuses on ankle, knee and lower back sprains, as well as adductor injuries; explains, in simple terms, how core stability and movement control help to reduce the risk of injury and time off.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3509,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artigos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3483"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3487,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3483\/revisions\/3487"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
