1. Define flexibility training.

- Flexibility is the ability to move muscles and joints through a full normal range of motion (ROM).
Flexibility helps performance, posture, promotes efficient movement, prevents incorrect body alignment,
maintains appropriate muscle length and balance and also decreases injury risk.
2. What are the three types of stretching? Explain each.
- Static Stretching-You move into a position that lengthens a target muscle and hold the position for 15-
60 seconds. It's best to remember to breathe as you hold each stretch.
- Dynamic Stretching- You move in and out of a position that lengthens a target muscle. Dynamic
stretching involves moving through a joint's full range of motion either slowly or quickly to mimic a
functional activity.
- Active Isolated Stretching (AIS): You move joint through a complete range of motion, holding the
endpoint only briefly, then return to the starting point and repeat. Many athletes and active exercisers
use active isolated stretching to prevent injuries or muscle imbalance.
