The book’s author, Brad Walker, talks about what flexibility is, the benefits, and the different types of stretching. This will help you understand how being flexible can make a real difference to your skydiving. <\/p>\n
As with any training, safety is very important and Brad sums it up nicely in this statement, ‘There are no good or bad stretches; only what is appropriate for the specific requirements of the individual. So a stretch that is perfectly okay for one person may not be ok for someone else’. <\/p>\n
There are no good or
\nbad stretches; only what is
\nappropriate for the specific
\nrequirements of the individual<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Programme<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
This really is the key point about flexibility; the super athletic sportsperson will have very different capabilities to someone who hasn’t done any activity for a while. This book will support you to find out your limitations and develop a programme to suit your individual needs. This is all done in the first 36 pages of the book.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Illustrated Exercises<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
The remaining 114 pages are completely dedicated to the exercises. For each stretch there are illustrated examples demonstrating how to execute the stretch and the anatomy involved, along with which sports and injuries the stretch is beneficial for.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thumbs-Up<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a great reference for anyone involved with sport, especially if you want to get straight to the point and keep it simple. Okay so a few of the diagrams could have been more technically correct (be alert to dodgy posture) and unsurprisingly it doesn’t make any references to skydiving in the lists of sports the stretches benefit. However, overall it\u2019s good stuff that I’m sure you’ll find useful so this book gets the thumbs-up from me! <\/p>\n
