Rezension

"In this comprehensive textbook, readers will discover a wealth of stretching techniques designed to improve flexibility, sport performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall health. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance performance or simply aiming to increase your range of motion, Professor Behm's textbook is a must-have addition to your fitness library."

Prof. Urs Granacher, PhD, University of Freiburg, Germany.

"Professor Behm shares his profound knowledge and expertise in this book. The body of available evidence is presented using an explicative and practical narrative. An essential read for all those interested in the topic."

Prof. Rodrigo Ramirez-Campillo PhD, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences Institute. School of Physical Therapy. Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences. Universidad Andres Bello. Santiago, Chile.

"It is the perfect book to tap into the wisdom of stretching as developed by researchers. By reading this book, you will gain wisdom about the past, present, and imagine the future of stretching"

Prof. Masatoshi Nakamura PhD,Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Nishi Kyushu University, Kanzaki, Saga, Japan

"With this work, Prof. Behm provides an encyclopedia of flexibility techniques that illustrates the current scientific knowledge on stretching and related training techniques in the most comprehensive manner. The content of this book served as an important baseline for much ongoing research, including my PhD Thesis."

Konstantin Warneke PhD, University of Graz, Graz Austria
