Implication of yoga in the regular training process

The body, the human organism, is an extremely complex functional system that constantly strives to balance all its subsystems. My discussion will follow the impact of yoga as a benefit, as a contribution to the attainment of the highest human athletic abilities, or competitive results. Each sport has its own peculiarities, especially in the field of biomechanics, which are now being identified and incorporated into the training process.
What is common to all of them, however, is that the human body's basic rhythm of left-right coordination is the basis for the balance of efficient movement. The body therefore constantly strives to achieve balanced biomechanics, because as soon as deviations occur, the body develops a compensatory tendency, followed by structural changes in the exposed tissues.Asymmetry in muscle strength at any level is a potential risk factor for injury. It also limits the ability to perform efficient, technically correct movements as required in individual sports.
Therefore, any detrimental deviations from the correct pattern need to be identified and corrected promptly. A certain degree of muscular asymmetry is sometimes unavoidable and stabilises over time; to some extent, movement is rationalised under these conditions, but efficiency is not as high as it could be.
Training methodology tends to ignore the consequences of unilateral loading in the pursuit of results and overlooks the structural changes in the exposed tissues.
I follow these sad stories of competitive sport around the world, of careers ending too soon... Why do such severe structural changes occur that the natural adaptive mechanism of the biomechanics of the body's active and passive postural systems fails?
I graduated from the Faculty of Sport in Ljubljana in 1977, when there were no advanced technologies to manage the training process, but the "back" was the problem then, as it is still today.  This was the time when E. MERCKX dominated on the bike and it was said that his resting heart rate in the morning was 32/min and his main diet was apple strudel.

Over the years, until today, I have gradually collected my thoughts about the "back" and clarified many of them through my own experience of practicing yoga and my yogic treatment of the injured back of the professional rower Jan Špik.I will present the perspective that the practice of yoga gives and carries the guarantee of effective training on the way to a sporting result.
