Question

Match the terms to their definition. 1. dynamic flexibility the ability of a joint or group of joints to move through their full range of motion 2. elongation the ability to place and hold a limb in an extended position using only the tension of the muscles surrounding the joint; for example, in the morning when you reach high above your head and hold it there for several seconds 3. flexibility lengthening the joint muscles and connecting tissue beyond their maximum resting length 4. PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) lengthening of a muscle 5. static-active flexibility (active flexibility) muscles are stretched when the neuromuscular reflexes stimulate training 6. static-passive flexibility (passive flexibility) the ability to perform dynamic movements by bringing a limb through its full range of motion in the joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist; hip, knee, ankle) 7. stretching the ability to place and hold a limb in an extended position using your weight or some other apparatus; for example, the morning stretch again, but this time reaching above your head you grab the upper doorframe to lean against

Answer

{'1':'dynamic flexibility', '2':'elongation', '3':'flexibility', '4':'PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)', '5':'static-active flexibility (active flexibility)', '6':'static-passive flexibility (passive flexibility)', '7':'stretching'}

  • Q:What is dynamic flexibility? A:The ability of a joint or group of joints to move through their full range of motion.
