Stretching Scientifically 4th Ed - Thomas Kurz

Stretching Scientifically, A Guide to Flexibility Training will be
useful to athletes, instructors, and coaches. It describes the systems
and organs of the body that determine one's flexibility. But that's
not all. The theory is illustrated with practical examples and then
followed by a detailed practical guide to the safest and fastest

Every stretching method is carefully explained, then the recommended
ways of application are suggested. Every exercise is shown and clearly
described. The exercises are grouped by body part (arms, legs, etc.)
and accompanied by listings of sports in which they can be applied.
