The Anatomy of Stretching by Brad Walker
Books on stretching are common, but The
Anatomy of Stretching takes a more fundamental approach than the others,
taking the reader inside the body to show exactly what is happening
during a stretch. At the heart of the book are 300 full-color
illustrations that show the primary and secondary muscles worked in 115
key stretches arranged by body area. Author Brad Walker brings years of
expertise—he works with elite-level and world-champion athletes, and
lectures on injury prevention—to this how-to guide. He looks at
stretching from every angle, including physiology and flexibility; the
benefits of stretching; the different types of stretching; rules for
safe stretching; and how to stretch properly. Aimed at fitness
enthusiasts of any level, as well as at fitness pros, The Anatomy of
Stretching also focuses on which stretches are useful for the
alleviation or rehabilitation of specific sports injuries.
