an introduction for the general population Stretching and Flexibility Ryan Kennedy Health Educator Rowan University Health amp Exercise Science Health Promotion and Fitness . Section B- Exercise Physiology . Increased range of movement/ reduce injury. Adopt held or aesthetic positions in gymnastics. Can reach a ball or player in game better. Can apply more power/ longer levers in athletic examples. . Care. Chapter 11. Principles of Flexibility Training. Flexibility training is a systematic program of stretching exercises designed to . progressively. increase the range of motion (ROM) of joints over time.. What is Flexibility?. Flexibility is the ability for a joint to easily move through a specific range of motion (ROM). . Women are generally more flexible than men ( men have more muscle that limits joint range). Chapter 10 Textbook. Course Packet page 26. The ability to move the joints through a full range of motion. FLEXIBILITY. a . type of sports fitness routine in which momentum and active muscular effort are used to stretch and the end position is not held . Factors that influence flexibility. 1- Joint structure. The type of joint determine the degree of ROM. For example; a ball-and-socket joint, like shoulder has greater ROM than a hinge joint like wrist. . Chapter 5. Flexibility. The range of motion in a joint or group of joints. Important for general fitness and wellness. Static versus dynamic flexibility. What Determines Flexibility?. Joint structure—joints vary in direction and range of movement. Back Health. © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.. Learning Outcomes. Articulate how regular stretching and being flexible can benefit your lifelong fitness and wellness.. Identify the body structures, body systems, and individual factors that will determine your joint flexibility and back health over time.. I can define flexibility and the things that limit Range of Motion. I can explain the agonist/antagonist relationship between muscles. I can compare and contrast the 5 different stretching techniques. William e. prentice. Restoring Range of Motion and Improving Flexibility. Introduction. Loss of motion occurs after injury. Due to pain, swelling, muscle guarding or spasm. Shortening of connective tissue and muscle. Self-Myofascial Release (SMR/Foam rolling). Progressions/. R. egressions. Smaller and denser objects for progression. Larger and less dense for regression. Common mistakes. Rolling too quickly. Not identifying the tender spot. It is the ability of joints to move in maximum range. In other words, this is the range of a joint to move maximum.. Types of Flexibility. There are various types of flexibility that are described below.. 2. Outline. Definitions of Flexibility. Warm up vs Stretching. Factors that influence Range Of Motion (ROM). Physiology and Biomechanics of Flexibility. Assessment of Flexibility. Benefits of Flexibility. Joint. A joint is the point at which 2 bones come together.. Joints. Types and Examples of Joints.
