Stretching

Language: Italian

Summary

This book consists of two essential parts:

1. the first, theoretical, covers topics ranging from the anatomy of the muscle to its sense organs,

2. the second, more exquisitely practical, delves into some of the methods involved in the world of stretching.

In the stretching exercises presented, including variations of basic exercises, the scrupulously detailed technical description is accompanied by a simple and practical explanation.

The drawings showing the subjects posing are not invented images, but real people who have individually performed the exercise and have been subsequently transformed into drawings.

The work, therefore, is enriched with 225 pictures, which represent the microscopic parts of the muscle, and drawings, which give an idea of how to perform each posture correctly.

The last chapters are devoted to muscle-stretching exercises that can be performed with and without tools. Finally, the last section of the book deals with the dangerousness of certain exercises specifically concerning the spine, the nerve point of the entire human body, which should be avoided if possible.
