Seize The Science And Physiology Of Flexibility And Stretching: Implications And Applications In Sport Performance And Health Prepared By David G Behm EBook

happy to have found a book that takes a survey of some of the research stretching and its use in health.
The book seems to mostly focus on athletics, As as such is more useful to the coach of a team, an athlete or anyone interested in sports physiology,

Id go so far as to say it should be read by anyone with a physiology but ah well, Stretching is a fundamentally important part of sport and exercise, playing a role in improving performance, and preventing injury and rehabilitation, but its scientific underpinnings have, to this point, been overlooked in book publishing.
The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching is the most uptodate and comprehensive book to cover the underlying physiology and psychology of stretching, critically assessing why, when, and how we should stretch, as well as offering a highly illustrated, practical guide to stretching exercises.


　

　

Placing stretching in the context of both health and performance, the first section of the book sets out the science behind stretching, critically assessing the benefits, disadvantages, and roles of different types of stretching, exploring the mechanisms behind increasing rangeofmovement through stretching and other methods, and offering evidencebased guidance on building stretching into warmups.
In its second section, the book provides a stepbystep guide to static, dynamic, and PRF stretching exercises for beginners, through recreational athletes, to elite performers.


　

　

Richly illustrated, and including an online resource, The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching

provides an important scientific enquiry into stretching, and an invaluable reference for any strength and conditioning coach or student, personal trainer, sports coach, or exercise scientist.
