Although this book may have some excellent overall general stretches in it it does not cover all the methods of stretching, or any routines for the athlete to build apon. Although passive stretching is excellent for your flexability maintanence if you dont incorperate isometric and combining it (PNF), you will never achieve the greatest rang of flexability as a top athlete. I have been studying the martial arts for 19 years now and I am everlastingly looking for excellent material for stretching to recomend to my students of friends. I can say I would never recomend this book to another living soul caught up in any demanding sport.

This is the worse book I ve ever read.There is only a bunch of theory and many pictures of passive stretches -forget abuot PNF technique which is much more effective than conventional stretching.There is no shedule or a excellent routine.The routines for the different sports are quite stupid.You dont know after reading this when to stretch or how often.
There is only one routine-everyday 1-3 times a day.Pasiive stretching of course.
If you want some science there are better books on the market
and if you want some matter-of-fact advices don’t buy this book,because you find there only some drawnings and nothing more!!!

The illustrations are rudimentary, with an nearly complete abscence of written instruction for very risky, complicated, stretches. Some of them are the usual tired yoga stretches that get promoted now-a-days. Even as others make the knee joint the consequence-impact top. Beware, some of these stretches WILL hurt your body beyond repair. Advice in the book is often hearsay, like “all wrestlers do the yoga shoulder stand” (?)
I once knew a ballerina in a professional company who told me that the ballerinas have a small career, arthritis from extreme stretching helps make sure that, she said. Use this book to hurt bodies only.

This book is one of the better books on streching. I like the fact that it gives the top stretches so that you can still get a excellent stretch in a shorter time. The drawings are really not to terrible. Too many books that I have seen have terrible contrast in photos and it becomes hard to see what is going on.

I like the way the author set up the book with a clear introduction of the anatomy and mechanics of stretching. In addition, the use of charts for “sport specific” stretching guidelines is extremely helpful. Illustration are clear and simple to know.
