Does consistent yoga help with performance in competitive sports?

[Lolita]

Some teammates say yoga has helped them stay injury-free and more flexible. Does consistent yoga actually improve performance in competitive sports like football or basketball? What yoga routines help athletes the most?

I think consistent yoga can enhance performance in competitive sports. It improves flexibility, balance, focus, and breathing, key elements for athletic efficiency. Yoga also aids recovery, reduces injury risk, and boosts mental resilience under pressure.

I think it is as per experience of my friend from India. She said doing Yoga improves her well-being. She also finds peace and relaxing mood.

I started practising yoga several years ago and I fully recognise how it helps me. Through yoga, I have obtained better flexibility and I have also improved my balance.

I watched the YouTube sent to me by my Indian friend about Yoga, but until this time, I have not worked on it. I am not yet inspired doing the Yoga.
