Flexibility

Flexibility is the body's ability to move through its maximum range of motion from a specific joint. In other words, it is the capacity of muscles and joints to perform broad movements easily and without restrictions. This ability is essential in many sports that require wide, precise, and fluid movements. Flexibility can be improved through specific exercises that safely and gradually increase joint range of motion and stretch the muscles.

Some examples of sports in which flexibility is an important component include:

Artistic Gymnastics:
Gymnasts must have high levels of flexibility to perform acrobatic and balance movements, such as splits and backbends.
