Warm Up and Cool Down of the Canine Athlete: An Evidence-Based Approach to Improving Performance and Preventing Injury
Do you want to:
- Reduce your dog's risk of injury?
- Improve your dog's sports performance, allowing their true potential to shine?
- Follow canine exercise principles based on science and research, taking out the guesswork?
Of course, you do!
Think about everything we buy or do to help our dog be fit and healthy, from massages to therapeutic coats to working with a canine rehab specialist. And those things are all awesome, but there is a simple, free strategy that many of us fail to implement in our routines with our performance dogs. It's not shiny or trendy; competitors aren't flocking to seminars to learn about it. But it works, and, in fact, it's vital to include it in your performance dog's routine to ensure their longevity in the sport and get the most out of the services and products you already use.
Here it is... ready? Warming up your dog before their training or trialling. Top canine competitors consistently complete a sport-specific warm-up routine, uses three planes of motion, and follow research-based guidelines on the ideal number of sets, reps, and intensity. This book is your ultimate guide to understanding the research behind warming up and cooling down your dog. It includes extensive descriptions (with photos) of easy-to-complete warm-up activities with little to no equipment required. Sample warm-up and excellent down programs are also provided to get started immediately.
Edited by Dr. Matt Brunke of the Veterinary Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Group, this evidence-based book includes the following:
- More than 15 sport-specific dynamic warm-up stretches
- A review of the research on warm-up and cool-down guidelines
- Two sample warm-up programs that put it all together for you so that you can start tomorrow!
And the book is sized to fit easily in your training bag so you can take it to training and trials.
So, are you ready to change your game?
