Stretching Anatomy, Second Edition, is like having an X-ray of each stretch, only better. Not only do you see full-color illustrations of the muscles in action, but you also see how a change in position can alter the muscle emphasis and difficulty and how variations can improve safety and effectiveness. A new Stretch Focus section details the procedure and benefits of every exercise as well as safety considerations and variations according to skill level.<\/p>\n
Each exercise describes how to stretch, when to stretch, primary and secondary muscle emphasis, and which muscles are activated for support. Stretching programs provide three levels of difficulty<\/strong>, including light stretching that can be used to aid in recovery from soreness and injury. A new chapter on dynamic stretches covers the most effective exercises for athletic warm-ups, while another chapter shows you how to customize a program based on your individual needs, including a program of passive static stretches proven to help lower blood glucose.<\/p>\n Whether you seek increased flexibility, better athletic performance, or reduced muscle soreness and tension,\u00a0Stretching Anatomy\u00a0is your visual guide to proper stretching technique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" See inside every stretch as you increase flexibility and improve muscular strength.
