Synopsis
Everyone who plays a sport has at some point had someone show him or her some stretches. Unfortunately, most gym teachers, school coaches and personal trainers dont have the expertise in sports science needed to provide what this book offers perfectly tailored stretching programs for 30 different sports. Combining an encyclopedic section of over 200 stretches with easy-to-follow, sport-specific programs, Sports Stretching for Athletes at All Levels is the ultimate tool for achieving maximum flexibility. Each stretch is explained both anatomically and in terms of on-field performance, showing readers the direct path from working the stretch to increasing flexibility to raising one's level of play. By targeting the specific stresses placed on the body by each sport, the carefully designed stretching programs are highly effective, yet require surprisingly little time during warm-up and cool-down segments.
