Description
“The Anatomy of Stretching” is the first book to seem in-depth on the anatomy of the body when stretching, and will end up an invaluable resource for gym users, personal trainers, athletes, sports therapists, coaches, PE teachers, physiotherapists, and sports scientists. The book looks at different aspects of stretching, including physiology and flexibility; the advantages of stretching; the various kinds of stretching; rules for secure stretching; and tips on how to stretch properly. More than 300 unique full-colour illustrations reveal the main and secondary muscles worked in 115 key stretches, arranged by body area. The depth of information includes the technique for the stretch; which muscles are being stretched; which sports take pleasure in the stretch; sports injury(s) where the stretch could also be useful; and common problems when the stretch is performed incorrectly.
