1.0 out of 5 stars
not to comprehensive,
By Steven M. Walker (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sport Stretch-2nd Edition (Paperback)
Although this book may have some good 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 good 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 always looking for good material for stretching to recomend to my students of friends. I can say I would never recomend this book to another living soul involved in any demanding sport.

Gymnastics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sport Stretch-2nd Edition (Paperback)
I was very pleased with this book. As I read the other reviews, there unhappiness with the book comes from the fact that it is not for every day people. I am very pleased with that fact and the title does imply that it is for people involved in sports. I am a mother of a 7 year old gymnast and I have been very challenged to find a book on stretching that will enhance her flexibility at an advanced stage. I am working with her coaches to ensure safety and develop a schedule that will make her a better gymnast. I was very pleased with the variety of stretches, pictures and descriptions for the stretches.

Most complete collection of stretches,
By Anne Terry "chikwik" (Southfield, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sport Stretch-2nd Edition (Paperback)
If you are looking for more advanced stretches than in Bob Anderson's book, this is it. (Though it has very basic positions too)
