1 - Physiology of Stretching
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to some of the basic
physiological concepts that come into play when a muscle is stretched.
Concepts will be introduced initially with a general overview and then (for

this chapter and you can easily look them up on a "need to know" basis.
