WHAT IS FLEXIBILITY?
Flexibility refers to the absolute range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion. Flexibility is a very difficult aspect of fitness to improve, but improving it is very important to maintain a healthy body. Stretching before sports & athletics can help in preventing injury.
