i think its a great book

[CherylR]

This book is chock full of scientific and well researched articles regarding athletes and return to performance. Better for PT’s and trainers than the casual athlete like me.

[Việt Anh Nguyễn Lê]

Concise and informative, but it's too technical for normal readers. This is more recommended for professionals. I only read the parts I need and skim the rest

Essential read for recreational athletes who strive for longevity
