A targeted training programme for strengthening and stretching the muscles is important in sport for warming up before a competition as well as afterwards to promote recovery and regeneration.
In the last two decades, the traditional gymnastics of general physical education has been replaced by function-orientated gymnastics. This book summarises the latest results of gymnastics research in an easy-to-understand format and provides clear, practice-oriented recommendations. It covers the entire spectrum of functional gymnastics as well as all common sports and health sports groups. At the centre of the book are numerous exercises for strengthening and stretching as well as for strengthening the whole body and promoting mobility. These are clearly explained and can be implemented directly in training.
