Weight distribution in sport is about how you place and control your body weight to maximise power, balance, speed, and injury prevention.
Why it matters:
• ⚖️ Better balance & stability – stay centred during movement
• 💥 More power transfer – legs → trunk → arms
• 🦵 Joint protection – reduces load on knees, hips, and spine
• 🔄 Quicker direction changes – essential for agility sports
In practice:
• Even or slightly forward weight for sprinting & jumping
• Centred weight for rotation (surfing, tennis, golf)
• Controlled shifts for cutting, turning, and landing
Pilates connection:
Pilates trains awareness, control, and trunk strength so weight moves with intention, not compensation.
