Synopsis
Prehab Exercises Static Stretching is an illustrated guide to the ABC Approach for Static Stretching that was created by Michael Rosengart.
For the last several years, many people have warned others to avoid static stretching out of fear that the technique would ruin an individual's performance. However, this cultural bias against static stretching is not exactly well-informed.
Michael Rosengart reviews the current scientific literature on static stretching and offers a novel approach to the technique along with hundreds of detailed illustrations and easy-to-use exercise cues.
Prehab Exercise Static Stretching can help anyone to effectively use static stretching to increase range of motion, prevent injuries, enhance performance and improve movement quality.
From the Back Cover
Prehab Exercises: Static Stretching offers a thorough review of the scientific literature of static stretching, and a new, evidence-based approach to static stretching, which is the ABC Approach created by Michael Rosengart.
Plus, this book contains a library of illustrated stretches with easy-to-use instructions and training cues.
In the early 2000's, several studies linked static stretching to impairments in performance. These studies led many coaches, trainers, and instructors to steer away from static stretching in favor of dynamic stretching. At the same time, a strong cultural bias developed against static stretching.
This book responds to the current cultural bias against this practice by exploring how static stretching may be one of the most effective techniques for increasing range of motion, as well as a valuable tool to use in rehab, prehab, and training programs.
Michael Rosengart's ABC Approach and the illustrated exercises in this book are designed for everyone, from office workers who want to benefit from increased mobility but don't know where to start, to yoga instructors who want to know the science behind the stretch. The beautifully illustrated stretching library contains progressions and regressions for every level of flexibility. The stretching library also contains easy to follow stretching sequences that can be used immediately.
