The complete guide to stretching - Christopher M. Norris

A reasonable level of flexibility is essential to the healthy functioning of joints and muscles, which in turn facilitates performance and reduces the risk of injury. This guide provides an accessible overview of the scientific principles that underpin this form of training, and offers more than 70 exercises designed to safely increase the range of motion right across the body. It features important sections on measuring flexibility and devising sport-specific programmes. All guidance is in line with the latest scientific research.
