Explain why regular exercise is the best way to prevent flexibility issues.
Regular exercise helps maintain flexibility by moving the joints through their ranges of motion, reducing muscle tightness, and keeping the muscles strong enough to support normal movement.
What comes together at a joint?
Compare and contrast static and dynamic flexibility.
Static flexibility is the ability to hold a stretch or position without moving. Dynamic flexibility is the ability to move a joint through its range of motion during active movement. Both describe range of motion, but static flexibility is measured while still and dynamic flexibility while moving.
Why are muscle and fat levels the only factors influencing flexibility impacted by personal decisions?
Poor flexibility may be caused by __________.
Bad posture can result in __________.
Why do activities like yoga, ballet, and gymnastics require better than normal flexibility?

Why do activities like yoga, ballet, and gymnastics require better than normal flexibility?
