I've heard Moffit talking about the players doing yoga as part of their schedule. How is this beneficial? I'm not a PT but even I can understand that power and limber contradict each other.


Being limber helps with injuries in big ways(Example: injuries occur when things are bent to far or wrong way and when you are limber and stretched greatly then your body is able too stretch and bend more so than others)...the 07 team that won the NC all did yoga as part of there practice....and we didnt have near the injuries that year if i recall...i always said it should be something we did every year...

one other example is...put a rubber band in the freezer over night...let it freeze and then stretch it and see how far it stretches vs a rubberband that isnt frozen

No they didn't. Yoga is an off season exercise routine, and that team had plenty of injuries: Dorsey, Doucet, Flynn, etc.

ETA: And I would know, I was on the team.
