Fulham Football Club are the latest Premiership side to realise the benefits of  Pilates.

Danny Murphy, Fulham’s midfielder, 32, revealed how the Cottagers have turned to Pilates to meet the endurance test of Europa League and Premier League this term.

Fulham skipper Murphy said: “We haven’t been here before so there’s a couple of different things we have to cater for. One is getting fitter that bit earlier than normal because you are normally aiming for mid-August to peak at your fitness. So we’re doing specialist work, Pilates stuff. The lads are getting into it now.”

“Ours it at the highest level in terms of intensity.”

The Fulham squad are put through their Pilates paces three times a week.
