Document Summary
Equipment varies (learn how to adjust to equipment) do safety checks. Land on hands, feet, and other body parts. Flexibility: range of possible movement in a joint/series of joints. Passive range- how far a limb can be moved by an external force such as a partner or gravity. Active range: how far a limb can be moved by ones own muscular force. Full range of flexibility = important for anything. Allows us to extend further (bigger reach in a play) Better range of motion (faster movements) (won"t be as hesitant) Ex: golfers= more twerk in body, more range of motion. Many skills require high degree of flexibility. Limits: soft tissue: muscles connect tissues, tendons and ligaments. Shorter, tighter can get full range of motion. Static stretching: plasticity of ones self in a position that elongates the soft tissue and holding. Increasing: this position for a period of time (60 seconds plus)
