I look at the reality of the methodology of modern sports training after many years of practice of yoga and I do not object to it, even from a yogic point of view. Yoga takes into strict consideration the natural assets of the human organism as being friendly to man and in accordance with the individual tendency - the organism's instinct for survival. This constitutes a clear bio-ethical code and is not a system of theoretical rules for a human being as dictated by the Kinesio treatment. The methodology of sports training primarily pursues the sporting achievement, the result, the record, and is as such fixated by a set of rules, where ethics, or proper understanding, is not discussed.
From season to season, the technological development of sports equipment and the advancement of methodological procedures of loading, with precise analyses of the states of functional capacities, the athletes' bioethical code, in all respects, is increasingly disrupted. A psycho-physical state of the organism is established where the adaptive potential of the organism also fails, a process of structural changes in the exposed tissues is triggered and pain occurs. I'm talking about tennis actually; we see the bitter faces on YouTube, Sinner, Alcaraz, Lehecka ...., the pain is there and everything stops, including the coaches (trainers). 
Not enough consideration is given to the cooperative role of the synergy of the psoas muscle group, which coordinates the balance in human movement. The psoas muscles have a unique psychosomatic quality with an instinctive response and are presupposed by the complete musculoskeletal connection, in the trajectory of every movement.
Yoga is highly attentive to the psoas muscle group and nourishes it in the performance of asanas in the rhythm of bandha breathing, in an analytical way and with precise training. Quite often this muscle is referred to as mysterious because it carries the ability to react instinctively to stimuli from the outside, it is linked to mental intensity, in space and time (it connects consciousness), and it has, in the presence of the rules of tennis, a highly decisive function.
Kinesio-yoga assessment, in simple terms, defines the disruptions of the basal functional anatomy brought about by the unilateral load in sports training. Therefore, yoga is in the interest of top sporting performance to ensure that the trajectories of the working stroke movements are correct and that the projectile - the tennis ball - hits the court.
Implementing yoga in a daily training model is a radical demand, but it is a guarantee that one can train and compete and not be in pain.
Tennis - Sinner's hip pain is an indication that the femoral head is constantly being overloaded.
Yoga Bandha breathing, with the Mula Bandha inhale technique, specifically relieves the head of the femur bone.
Kinesio Yoga's treatment of the complete locomotor system of the body does not require a high energetic pace, but a correct understanding of the execution of movements and transitions into a particular pose is necessary in order for comfort and creativity to be felt. Our body has its own potential of self-mastery, a "bio-intelligence of the psoas muscle" with a unique inner intelligence, all in tune with consciousness and emotions, which is visible on the person's face.
That is why yoga, with its glorious technique of bandha breathing, is the guarantee that the cheeks of the champions, Alcaraz and Sinner, will light up.
