Pilates in preseason and injury prevention

Pilates in preseason and injury prevention

Im currently undertaking research into the use of a 6 week course of Pilates in preseason to see if it has an effect in preventing injuries throughout the season. Has anyone used Pilates during preseason and found it beneficial?

Not used it before, but am intrigued to hear the results. Can you keep us posted of how it goes.

If it is useful information to coaches around the world we could publish your paper in next months IRB Coaching newsletter?

Let me know if you are interested?

What Co. are you in? Always looking at correspondance and exchange worldwide. Have been Connemara RFC couple years back, Also went to Florida the other year and contacted the local club there to ask if I could come along and see what they do, you can imagine my surprise when they asked me to take all their sessions - 4 wks worth - at the moment I turned up at the club.

I never expect to have an immediate impact, but what I do try to do is question the coaches and players on their view of how the game is played, and hopefully leave a bit of a legacy.
