: Kevin Love spends much of the year on the hardwood, but for chunks of his
: off-season it's a floor where sneakers are not allowed. Basketballs are
: replaced with foam blocks, and instead of shouting coaches, Love focuses on
: the soothing voice of yoga instructor Kent Katich.
: "Yoga has given me a newfound balance, strength and endurance," the 6'10",
: 240-pound Cavaliers forward says. "And my body has leaned out because of it."
: Love在球場上征戰了有段歲月了, 但他在休賽季的時候, 他不再大聲地與教練溝通, 他選
: 擇暫時放下籃球, 換成了瑜珈墊, 因為Love正專心的與瑜珈老師Katich學習.
: Love本人表示: "瑜珈使我的身體更加精實, 除此之外, 他還幫助我建立新的肢體平衡,
: 力量, 以及韌性."
: The use of yoga in the NBA isn't cutting edge (Walt Frazier took it up in the
: '70s), but Katich, who works with dozens of pros, from former NBAer Reggie
: Miller to soccer star Jermaine Jones, hopes to make the ancient practice
: mainstream in sports by targeting the needs of individual athletes to improve
: performance and prevent injuries. For Love, that means flexibility and
: stretching; for former NFL running back Eddie George, it means a workout that
: emphasizes strength and explosiveness.
: 瑜珈自從70年代就在NBA開始流行, 但Katich---曾與Reggie Miller訓練過的瑜珈
: 老師, 想把這項流傳已久的技巧打入現代主流運動, 以提升運動員的表現, 更減少他們受
: 傷的機率. 對Love來說, 此項古代技藝增加了他的身體彈性以及延展性.
: Love, who incorporates a handful of poses into his in-season workouts.
: "The things that we've built in yoga over the past years are all applicable
: to basketball," says Love. "For me, yoga is not just a way to keep my body
: moving, but it also helps me to escape the natural pressures that come from
: waking up and walking out the door in the morning."
: 不只在休賽季, Love也在賽季進行時為自己設定了些瑜珈訓練. 他表示: "這幾年下來我在
: 瑜珈上所習得的技巧對我的職業生涯很有幫助, 瑜珈不只協助我身體的機能, 他還能幫助
: 我減輕日常生活動作對身體所帶來的壓力."

瑜珈就是古代的易筋經。這種柔軟運動對於身上或多或少都有一些關節韌帶受傷的籃球員
來說是很好的復健活動。
小弟右手摔車受傷，尺骨與手腕關節連接處的骨頭特別突出，導致投籃時手腕無法固定姿
勢，投出去的球都會有不同程度的歪斜，命中率一直提升不起來。看台大骨科，醫生說要
嘛打鋼釘讓骨頭復位，要嘛反正不影響生活也不會痛就擺著唄。
做了瑜伽之後，右手真的有感覺沾黏的組織被拉開，柔軟度好很多，投籃姿勢比較容易穩
定，天冷也會痠痛了...= =
之前都沒什麼感覺的。
還有腳踝的多次扭傷、骨盆與脊椎的歪斜也都有好轉，當然累積的傷害結果也都會跑出來
討債。
瑜珈裡的弓箭式、太陽式和划船式都很不錯，連我這種馬路杯選手都有效，對 NBA 球員
來講肯定也有不錯的效用。
