Passive Flexibility

Active Flexibility

1. Joint structure
2. Age
3. Gender
Types of Flexibility Training Exercise
Static stretching
• Slow and sustained muscle-
tendon lengthening, held
at the end of the ROM.
• 30 seconds
• Muscle relaxation
Types of Flexibility Training Program

Dynamic stretching
• Slowly moving the limb throughout
the ROM, but not held or sustained
• More repetitions
• Prepares muscles and joints for
movements
Types of Flexibility Training Program
Ballistic stretching
• Incorporates explosive and rapid
movements (bouncing)
• Uses momentum to lengthen
beyond range
• Better ROM
Types of Flexibility Training Program
PNF ( Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation )
• Assisted stretching
• Passive lengthening through
resistance, contraction-
relaxation
• Repeated 3 times each cycle, 20-
30 seconds
• Maximum ROM
