Sport Stretch, 2nd Edition: 311 Stretches for 41 Sports

As a massage therapist, I see all sorts of clients. This book is a handy reference to help my clients who participate in certain sports with stretches targeted at specific areas. I did, however, find the organization of the book somewhat challenging. I felt like I needed to do a lot of page flipping in order to fully utilize the book. The information was still incredibly helpful.

If you're into stretching, this book has both exercises and a very thorough technical introduction of the science behind stretching and you will probably rate it a five star. I personally haven't found stretching beneficial despite Alter's impressive discussion of the science, hence my three star rating.

I have used this book on every athlete I have trained some great stretches I have never seen before. I would strongly recommend this book!

Great book.

Another go-to book for me, i keep it in my bookcase if i want to do a stretch i use only occasionally. Its well worth the money!

Great read. Good reference material for sports and fitness.

Helped me learn stretches for the sports I play and just for everyday relief from my leg and foot pain.

great stuff.....

Loads of different stretches however no explanation on what each stretch is for. My physio said to beware as some stretches are actually dangerous as there’s a significant chance you will injure yourself badly. I have noted the recommended stretches that I need to do from the book which is 12 in total, the rest are no use to me.

Recommended by my martial arts instructor. He lent me a copy and I decided to buy my own as it was good value for money.

This is an excellent book with enough stretches to meet every need. The technical explanations are good and the diagrams and instructions are easy to follow.

I love this book, I have had my copy for around 20 years and buy it for clients and family/friends who need to feel the benefits of stretching correctly. The images and descriptions are spot on and the fact it tells you which stretches are best for your particular sport is even better - I recommend it to eveyone and in the last year have probably purchased 5 more copies.

Yet another great book for my son who's an athlete it has clear and precise illustrations as to how to do the stretches properly. Excellent.
