The companion CD-ROM (which can be purchased separately from the link below when it is available) contains all the exercises in the book, making it one of the most complete collections of elastic resistance exercises available. The CD-ROM is set up in the PhysioTools platform and allows users to order, edit, and download exercise programs, as well as -sort exercises by body part, sport/activity, or special population for quick reference; -develop protocols of elastic resistance exercises; and -provide clean-printed handouts with instructions for patients. The Scientific and Clinical Application of Elastic Resistance presents a broad range of easy-to-access information organized into five parts: scientific applications, exercise applications for different areas of the body, training applications, sport-specific applications for 10 different sports, and special populations.
