____ is the range of motion possible about a given joint or series of joints.
Flexibility
___ is the mobilization, freedom to move, or the range of motion (ROM) available in a joint or group of joints.
Flexiblity
Factors that affect flexibility:
-___
-___
-___
-___
-___
Bone structure - jt. type

Tissue - fat,skin,scar, muscle

Tendon and ligament

Age - fibrosis

Sex - females more flexible
List 5 factors that affect fexibility.
injury, improper training, sedentary lifestyle, excessive body fat, poor posture
____ refers to the portion of total ROM through which a jt. may be moved passively with no conctraction required.
Passive Flexibility
___ refers to the portion of total ROM through which a joint can be moved by an active muscle contraction.
Active Flexibility
___ is a ROM that is observed at a specific jt. and is isolated to that joint.
True Flexibility
___ is a ROM that is observed at a specific jt. but not isolated to that jt, rather the motion involves movement within other jts in the kinematic chain.
Apparent Flexibility
___ is the muscle that contracts to produce a movement.
Agonist
___ is the muscle being stretched in response to contraction of the agonist muscle.
Antagonist
List reasons for the importance of flexibility.
Increased ROM

Improved performance

Injury prevention (exercise tightens/shortens muscle so more vulnerable; must protect form soft-tissue injuries)

parallel

muscle length

stretch reflex

motor neuron in the spine

activated
Golgi Tendon Organ:
- is a ____ near the _____ junction
- sensitive to increase in ____ ____
- causes a muscle to reflexively ____ thus decreasing ____
- invovles ___ ___ (when relaxation in the muscle experiencing increased tension)
- also involves ___ ____ (relaxation in the muscle opposing the muscle experiencing increased tension)
mechanoreceptor near the musculotendinous jxn

muscle tension

reflexively relax decreasing tension

autogenic inhibition

reciprocal inhibition

- ensures proper ___ and ___
mimic/mirror

movement and stability
In SAM, Movement means:
- should be slow and ___
- should be isolated to ___ and direction of movement
- should not disrupt ___ or ___
smooth

joint

stability or alignment
Stretching Guidlines:
