Description
When The Anatomy of Stretching used to be originally published, it used to be the first book to cover the topic of anatomy and physiology for stretching and flexibility. Since then others have been written, but no other book on the subject contains more examples of stretching exercises, or is in a position to take detailed anatomical information and present it in a way that may be easy for everyone to keep in mind. This is where The Anatomy of Stretching is different: it is in a position to take you inside the body and show you both the primary and secondary muscles in action all over the stretching process., The Anatomy of Stretching looks at stretching from every angle, including: physiology and flexibility; some great benefits of stretching; the several types of stretching; rules for protected stretching; and how to stretch properly. Aimed at fitness enthusiasts of any level, in addition to fitness pros, The Anatomy of Stretching also makes a speciality of which stretches are useful for the alleviation or rehabilitation of specific sports injuries. Plus in this second edition, over twenty new stretches have been added; the chapter on physiology has been expanded; more detailed anatomy has been included with each stretching chapter; the top five stretches for a range of sports and sports injuries are listed; and a new numbering system has been included to help reference each stretch.
