Exercise Science Flexibility Training Flexibility Training Flexibility – A joints ability to move freely in every direction or more specifically, through a full and normal range of motion Flexibility – “ It is how stretchy, you are!!” 3rd Grader Curry Elementary School Tempe, Arizona Flexibility Training Benefits of Normal, Proper Flexibility Decreased risk of injury (musculoskeletal) Increased Physical efficiency/performance Improve stress management Decreased risk of low-back pain Improved muscular balance and posture Improved proprioception Enhanced quality of life Flexibility Training How does one improve ones Flexibility?? Stretch!!! Stretching: The process of attempting to elongate the muscle in question. Stretching will always lengthening the muscle…opposite of contracting process. Flexibility Training Musculoskeletal Components Affected Muscle Bellies Tendons (at the origin and insertion points) Ligaments (on occasion) Flexibility Training Basic Mechanics of Stretching Stretch Reflex (initial response, muscle spindle) Reciprocal Inhibition Autogenic Inhibition (self preservation, last line of defense Golgi Tendon Organ) Flexibility Training Stretch Reflex (initial response, muscle spindle ) Flexibility Training Reciprocal Inhibition Flexibility Training Autogenic Inhibition (self preservation, last line of defense Golgi Tendon Organ) Flexibility Training Types of Stretching Dynamic: pre-activity Static: post-activity Flexibility Training Dynamic Stretching Pre-Activity Regains current ROM Prepares muscles for more vigorous activity Activates neuromuscular connection Increase heart rate (decreases muscular viscosity) Flexibility Training Dynamic Stretching Flexibility Training Static Stretching No Movement (hold) Post-Activity Elongate Muscle (increase flexibility) Relaxing Art Form Flexibility Training Static Stretching Flexibility Training Factors Affecting Flexibility Age (declines with age) Inactivity (improves w/ activity) Dehydration Gender (?)
