Flexibility
The normal extensibility of all soft tissues but allow for for ROM of a joint.
Extensibility
Capability to be elongated/stretched.
An important characteristic of soft tissue is that it will only achieve efficient extensibility if
Optimal control of movement is matin throughout the entire ROM.
Dynamic ROM
The combination of flexibility & the NS‘s ability to control this ROM efficiently.
What are the various factors that can influence flexibility?
Genetics
Connective tissue elasticity
Composition of tendons/skin surrounding the joint.
Joint structure
Strength of opposing muscle groups.
Body comp
sex
Age
Activity level
Previous injuries/existing medical issues.
Repetitive movements (pattern overload).
There are 12
Neuromuscular efficiency
The ability of the NMS to allow agonist, antagonist, & stabilizers to work synergistically to reduce, reduce, & dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain and all 3 planes of motion.
Concentric actions
Produce force.
Eccentric actions
Reduce force
Isometric when performing a cable pulldown exercise, the latissimus dorsi agonist must be able toTo allow for optimal neuromuscular efficiency, individuals must have proper actions
