The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching (2023) David Behm

Description

This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book covering the underlying physiology and psychology of flexibility enhancing techniques. It critically assesses why, when, and how we should stretch, and offers a highly illustrated, practical guide to exercises. This fully revised new edition adds new chapters on areas such as foam rolling, vibration, global effects of stretching, and alternative methods to increase flexibility (e.g., resistance training), making it an invaluable reference for strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, sports coaches, or exercise scientists.
