About this eBook
""Muscle Stiffness"" explores the science behind why our muscles become tighter with age and how targeted stretching can combat this. The book delves into the biology of aging muscles, highlighting how changes in connective tissues like collagen and elastin contribute to reduced flexibility. Interestingly, decreased water content in muscle tissue also plays a significant role in stiffness as we age.
The book explains different stretching techniques—static, dynamic, and PNF—and their effects on muscle fibers and the nervous system. It emphasizes that age-related muscle stiffness, while natural, isn't insurmountable. By understanding the biological changes and implementing consistent stretching, individuals can improve mobility.
Beginning with muscle physiology basics, the book progresses to detailed chapters on biological changes, stretching science, and practical routines. This approach provides readers with actionable strategies for integrating stretching into daily life, ultimately enhancing mobility and reducing the risk of age-related physical decline.
