FLEXIBILITY The ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of
motion.

FITNESS

Frequency is how often you will perform physical activity

Intensity is how hard you will perform physical activities

T-Time is how long you will perform physical activities

Type is the kind of physical activities you will perform to develop a fitness
component or obtain a specific benefit

Static stretching a stretch is held in a challenging but comfortable position for a

period of time, usually somewhere between 30 to 60 seconds. Dynamic stretching
a stretch is performed by moving through a challenging but comfortable range of
motion repeatedly, usually 10 to 12 times. Passive stretching means you're using
some sort of outside assistance to help you achieve a stretch. (This assistance
could be your body weight, a strap, leverage, gravity, another person, or a
stretching device.) Active stretching means you're stretching a muscle by
actively contracting the muscle in opposition to the one you're stretching. You do
not use your body weight, a strap, leverage, gravity, another person, or a
stretching device. With active stretching, you relax the muscle you're trying to
stretch and rely on the opposing muscle to initiate the stretch.

Ligament is a short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue which

connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.(Bone to Bone) Tendon
a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle
to a bone. (Muscle to bone) Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that keeps
joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bones in our joints and by
cushioning bones against impact.
