1. Flexibility
2. The ability to move a joint through it’s full range of motion.

6. LigamentA ligament is a strong, fibrous tissue that attaches one bone to another.Bone to bone
7. Muscle A muscle is meaty tissue that surrounds the bone.
8. TendonA tendon is connective tissue that anchors the muscle to bone.Muscle to bone

10. Flexibility isimportant!
11. a) Reduces injury.
12. Prevents post- exercise pain.
13. c) Reduces chance of low back pain.
14. d) Helps relieve emotional tension.
15. e) Increases joint stability.
16. Static StretchingIs slowly moving a muscle to its stretching point, and holding for 20 – 30seconds.
17. Static StretchingThe Sit and Reach test is an example of a static stretch that test the Hamstrings and Lower Back.
18. Static Stretchingis recommended after muscles are warm.
19. Ballistic Stretching Involves bobbing, bouncing, or jerky movements that use the body’s momentum.
20. Dynamic StretchingInvolves moving the muscle from static to active stretching using momentum.
21. Active Warm-up Exercises done before an activity in order to raise the overall body temperature (1 – 2 degrees/breaking a sweat).
22. This may be done by brisk walking, jogging, or other mild exercise.5-10 minutes.
23. A Specific Warm up could include…It is important that you don’t stretch a cold muscle.
24. Always warm up prior to stretchingStretch in a controlled mannerHold Stretch for 20-30 sec.Stretch to the point of discomfort not painDon’t compare your flexibility to others
25. Cool DownIs the time after a workout in which activity tapers off and HR and body temperature return to normal.
26. Applying theTrainingPrinciples
27. Principle ofOverload
28. To Improve Flexibility you must stretch the soft tissue in a joint farther than it is accustomed to.
29. Overload can be achieved using the F.I.T.T. factors
30. Stretching should be done a minimum of 3 times a week. Daily is best!Frequency
31. The muscle is stretched beyond it’s normal length to reach the stretching point.Intensity
32. To reach the stretching point, slowly stretch until mild tension is felt.
33. TimeThe time a stretch position is held could be increased gradually from 20-30 seconds.The number of repetitions may also be increased.
34. Principle of Progression
35. Gradually increase the overload by increasing…
36. a) FrequencyThe number of sessions per day or week.
37. b) Intensity The distance a muscle / joint is stretched.
38. The amount of time the position is held, OR the number of repetitions and sets. c) Time
39. PrincipleOfSpecificity
40. Flexibly requirements vary widely depending on the activity you are training for. Do a variety of stretches for total body improvement. Work the two opposing muscle groups around the joint for balance.
41. Stretching exercises will only improve flexibility in joints you exercise.
42. Your joints may have differing degrees of flexibility.
43. What are some examples of specificity in flexibility?
