As a general rule, women __________.
Explain why regular exercise is the best way to prevent flexibility issues.
Regular exercise keeps muscles active and helps maintain their strength and range of motion. It can reduce stiffness and tightness and help preserve flexibility, which lowers the chance of developing flexibility problems.
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 involve range of motion, but static flexibility is stationary while dynamic flexibility involves motion.
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?
Yoga, ballet, and gymnastics involve poses and movements that take joints through a wide range of motion. Performers need better-than-normal flexibility to reach and control those positions safely and effectively.
As a general rule, women __________.
How can stiff and tight muscles result in back pain?
Stiff and tight muscles can restrict normal movement and make the back work harder to compensate. The added tension and strain can cause or worsen back pain.
Why do activities like yoga, ballet, and gymnastics require better than normal flexibility?
Explain how poor flexibility can make daily tasks more difficult.
Poor flexibility can limit how far muscles and joints move, making everyday actions such as bending, reaching, turning, or getting dressed more difficult. These movements may also feel stiff or uncomfortable.
