the olympic athlete flexibility study

[sabetts]

Hello all,

In an interview http://www.stadion.com/interview-on-fle ... -physidex/ Thomas talks about a study that was done to assess the flexibility of olympic athletes. The findings were that gymnasts were the most flexible and olympic lifters came in second. Does anyone know where I can find this study? I'd be interested to read it!

Thanks!
