questions with answers

Flexibility |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |__________ |is |the |ability |to |move |a |joint |through |its |complete |
range |of |motion. |The |normal |extensibility |of |all |soft |tissues |that |allow |full |range |of |motion |
(ROM).



Extensibility |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |_________ |is |the |capability |to |be |elongated |or |stretched.



Dynamic |Range |of |Motion |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |_________ |is |the |combination |of |flexibility |and |
the |nervous |system's |ability |to |control |this |range |of |motion |efficiently.



Benefits |of |flexibility |training |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |- |Improve |range |of |motion

- |Enhance |strength |and |athletic |performance

- |Decrease |muscular |soreness

- |Normal |extensibility |of |all |soft |tissues |that

allow |for |full |range |of |motion |at |a |joint

- |Develop |optimum |control



Neuromuscular |Efficiency |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |__________ |is |the |ability |of |the |nervous |system |
to |properly |recruit |the |correct |muscles |(agonists, |antagonists, |synergists, |and |stabilizers) |to |
produce |force(concentrically), |reduce |force |(eccentrically), |and |dynamically |stabilize |
(isometrically) |the |body's |structure |in |all |three |planes |of |motion.
