5.0 out of 5 stars
A must need book for the Modern Athlete.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sport Stretch: 311 Stretches for 41 Sports (Paperback)
Michael J. Alter's Sport Stretch is one of thebest sources out there for the Modern Athlete. I have used the book to assist in my Martial Arts training and it has helped to greatly improve my whole training program. Idea for every athlete but best for anyone who need to work on flexablity. Get this for the Martial Artist, Gymist, or Dancer that you know.

Essential for Martial Arts,
By
This review is from: Sport Stretch: 311 Stretches for 41 Sports (Paperback)
This book on stretching is a must for those who do martial arts. The 311 stretches cover just about everything, but its the theories behind stretching and flexibility that are most useful. The book gives you an insight into how to increase your flexibility, which is central to martial artists who want to kick with perfection. It also outlines the benefits of flexibility, which are increased power and speed. Dont get a martial arts book if you want to increase flexibility - this guy knows what he's talking about.

Quite good but not the best...,
This review is from: Sport Stretch: 311 Stretches for 41 Sports (Paperback)
This book is quite good and does cover plenty of stretches. It's also well laid out and has an easy to read format. However it doesn't really cover all the different types of stretching (e.g. isometric, ballistic, dynamic) what they are for and when they should be used in your workouts. Unfortunately, the best book I have found is now out of print but if you can track down a copy then get Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurtz.
