The Stretching Bible will help anyone gain mobility, improve sporting
performance, and prevent common muscular injuries. A highly practical
title, it clearly explains the science, benefits and 'dos and don'ts' of
stretching followed by a range of stretches categorized by body part
(quads, calves), activity (working at the office, rising in the
morning), sport (rowing, tennis) or injury (hamstring strain, tennis
elbow).
This book is illustrated with simple diagrams at the beginning of each
'body part' chapter to pinpoint the location of the muscles to be
stretched, and contains real-life case studies from athletes in the
sport-specific section to explain how stretching has enhanced their
performance or reduced injury and expert opinions on stretching from
physiotherapists, doctors and coaches.
