This is because our sportsmen are being trained on the western lines, by vigorous physical exercises to limber up, toughen, the muscles and build up stamina. Perhaps the general tendency of belittling anything ancient and Indian made Indian sportsmen and coaches to look at yoga as an oriental religious ritual, rather than a set of physical exercises. It has been found that yoga stretching has great advantage in refreshing and relaxing the, muscles and sportsmen use this tremendous physiological advantage as in antidote to recoup and relax the stiff and tired muscles after vigorous physical activity. Nowadays in international competitions or in major tournaments, teams have to play tough matches morning and evening of after a gap of only a few hours. In many countries, water-jet massage and Sauna bath are used to recoup the fatigued sportsmen for another immediate competition soon after a vigorous, physical activity. Instead, a few yoga stretching exercises coupled with a few full deep breathing exercises can relax the individual to the maximum and make him physically and mentally ready for another competition immediately. And this is a very natural way for sportsmen for getting into the relaxed condition.
