What is Flexibility?

Flexibility is the ability for a joint to bend, stretch, and twist through a range of motion without injury

Static stretching is used to stretch muscles while the body is at rest. It is composed of various techniques that gradually lengthen a muscle to an elongated position (to the point of discomfort) and hold that position for 30 seconds to two minutes. 30 seconds is the minimum duration to get the benefits of stretching, whereas two minutes is the maximum (if a position can be held for more than two minutes, a farther stretch should be performed). During this holding period or directly afterwards, participants may feel a mild discomfort or warm sensation in the muscles. Static stretching exercises involve specialized tension receptors in our musclesmuscles Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching beneficial in sports utilizing momentum from form, static-active stretching strength and the momentum from static-active stretching strength, in an effort to propel the muscle into an extended range of motion not exceeding one's static- passive stretching ability. Anything beyond this range of motion becomes ballistic stretching. It is a type of stretching while moving.stretchingrange of motion ballistic stretching

Internal Factors The type of joint Bone structure Temperature of joint and associated tissue Elasticity of tendons and ligaments Elasticity of muscle tissue Hinge joint Ball and socket

External Factors one's commitment to achieving flexibility the temperature of the place the time of day age gender restrictions

Examples of Static Stretching Calves Quadriceps Hamstring Biceps Trapezius Triceps

Current research work detailed in Medicine & Science in Sport and Exercise 33(3), pp and Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, vol 15 (1): suggests that the use of dynamic stretches - slow controlled movements through the full range of motion - are the most appropriate exercises for warming up. By contrast, static stretches are more appropriate for the cool down at the end of the session.
