Baidu search does not have a specific explanation. There are some comparisons and differences between yoga and sports. For example, different behaviors, different exercise purposes, different techniques and different physiological changes. The explanation is objective. I want to introduce the combination of exercise and yoga.
If you are a sports enthusiast, you will deeply feel that every sport needs repeated actions. Some muscles, bones and joints will be nervous and sensitive due to excessive pressure, and they will be easily strained or strained, while those muscles that are not used often will gradually weaken due to lack of exercise. The body is seriously out of balance, which in turn leads to pain. If you have advanced from a fan to a formal competition, the high pressure of winning or losing and everyone's expectations are more likely to be out of balance.
When yoga is applied to sports, it can relax the stiff parts, make the body reach a stable and balanced state, improve the expressive force of the body, reduce and prevent sports injuries, and at the same time, breathing and meditation can also relax the body and mind.
But most people have many misunderstandings about yoga.
Misunderstanding 1. Yoga is suitable for women.
In fact, yoga originated in India, and the original founders and practitioners were all men. In Europe and America, male sex workers are also very common. At present, the male group practicing yoga in China is slowly increasing.
Myth 2: You can only practice yoga if you are soft.
Only by practicing yoga can we better understand every muscle and every inch of skin in our body. Only those with soft bodies can do postures and understand the yoga language "Let your forehead skin flow to your temples" said by the teacher, but this should not be your goal of practicing yoga.
Myth 3. I exercise all the year round, and I really don't need that kind of slow, "queen" yoga.
This time, I accompanied an Australian yogi, Mr. Darby, who is nearly 70 years old and has been practicing yoga for 40 years, to see his shoulder problem (shoulder injury caused by surfing). Chinese medicine saw Darby's hand and said that he was extremely angry. When massaging his spine, he even said that his spine was different from ordinary people, strong and not like this age. I want to say that the popularization of yoga is smooth, and the self-weight exercise in asana is very similar to the "unarmed fitness" in fitness.
In fact, strength and speed training will lead to muscle tightening, reduced range of motion, limited strength and increased possibility of injury. Many people will use foam shaft (an auxiliary device to eliminate muscle tension) to relax after fitness, but the latter is more effective than yoga class.
Because yoga has both active stretching and passive stretching, it can make the body warm and soft, further lengthen the muscles, make the muscles more elastic and the tissues more elastic, and the body can recover from various nerve stimuli more quickly during exercise.
So exercise yoga is exercise+yoga. It is more like oiling the wheels regularly to prevent and repair the sports effect at the best moment.
Yoga can not only help sports enthusiasts get better performance, but also inspire the understanding of perception and achieve the connection between sports and physical experience.
Today I introduce a simple exercise method. You can practice 10- 15 minutes before exercise.
The effect is:
1, wake up the body, improve the speed and increase the flexibility of the body.
2. Maintain emotional stability and sharp thinking.
3. Bring strength and freedom of movement to the limbs.
Do the following asanas 5-7 times in a row, which can relax joints, stretch and relax muscle tissue. Inject fresh blood into the brain, nourish brain cells and make the brain excited and active.
Note: Yoga poses are not like running, which will make your muscles feel tired. Although the posture is static on the surface, it actually achieves the dynamic purpose in the static posture, which makes the body full of vitality. It not only activates the muscle tissue, but also does not make the muscle tissue feel tired, thus ensuring the full play of muscle strength during exercise, making the body more flexible and thinking more acute.
At present, more and more sports enthusiasts are also in contact with yoga.
You can see badminton, golf and tennis fans in the yoga studio (that is, one-sided arm strength) and practice yoga during exercise to correct your scoliosis.
You can also see some fitness coaches or fitness enthusiasts stretching their stiff muscles through yoga.
China's national table tennis team also introduced a yoga instructor many years ago to arrange yoga poses suitable for their own projects to help athletes improve their physical expression, reduce sports injuries and relax their physical stress through breathing and meditation.
I used to learn badminton from a coach, but now I learn judo from a super professional coach. At the same time, I will also go to fitness and yoga. I feel that yoga brings many benefits, so share it slowly.

I hope you can gain at least two knowledge points after reading the article.
Knowledge point 1. When yoga is applied to sports, it can relax the stiff parts, make the body reach a stable and balanced state, improve the expressive force of the body, reduce and prevent sports injuries, and at the same time, breathing and meditation can also relax the body and mind. The important thing is that the national team has used it for more than ten years. As a sports lover, you should pay more attention.
Knowledge point 2. Learn the simple pre-exercise exercises shown above. The advantage is that it can relax joints and stretch and relax muscle tissue. Inject fresh blood into the brain, nourish brain cells and make the brain excited and active.
Finally:
Whether it's good or not won't be known until you do it yourself.
The scenery in other people's eyes may be boring in your eyes.
The sunny day in others' eyes may be the action under your feet.
