Flexibility
-What is flexibility as basic physical capacity?
The range of motion of a given joint or group of joints or the level of tissue extensibility that a muscle group possesses.
-What factors does flexibility depend on?
- Joint mobility or movement possibilities of joint:The characteristics of each articulation determine the amplitude of the movements that can be achieved in each one of them.
- Agonist muscle strength:The musculature responsible for producing the action must be strong enough to, in its contraction, bring the segment or part of the body to its position of maximum amplitude.
- Muscle elasticity:The muscle subjected to a sufficient force yields and increases its length, once the cause that caused this lengthening has given way, the muscle returns to its primitive extension. This ability of the muscle to elongate and then return to its initial state, is what is called "elasticity"
- Intermuscular coordination:In any movement, even when it is done with a goal of developing flexibility; This is the result of the joint participation of different muscle groups that must act in an orderly manner in terms of time and tension. If this were not so, the movement would not be synchronized.
