Many People who are physically active Pay lit- tle attention to their flexibili- ty. People who have back problems are afraid of flexi- bility and because it takes time to stretch properly, people tend to skip it when they do work out. Flexibility is a joint’s abil- ity to move freely in every direction. Within each joint, and for each activity, there is an optimum range of motion essential to peak perfor- mance. A number of factors can limit joint mobility, including genetic inheri- tance; the structure of the joint; connective tissue elas- ticity within muscles, ten- dons, or skin surrounding a joint; and neuromuscular coordination. There are at least 10 Major benefits derived from each full, normal range of motion and include the fol- lowing: 1) Increased physical effi- ciency and performance. A flexible joint has the ability to move farther in its range and requires less energy to do so. 2) Decreased risk of injury. although the jury is still out on this, most profes- sionals agree that increasing range of motion decreases the resistance in various tis- Sues, and a person is there- fore less likely to incur injury by exceeding tissue extendibility during activity. 3) Increased blood supply and nutrients to joint struc- tures. Flexibility training increases ‘tissue temperature, which in turn increases cir- culation and transport of nutrients, allowing greater elasticity of Surrounding tis- Flexibility benefits sue. 4) Increased quality of an quantity of joint-synovial fluid. This allows more free- lom of movement and has a tendency to decelerate joint degenerative processes. 5) Increased neuromuscu- lar coordination. Studies have shown that the time it takes an impulse to travel to the brain and return is enhanced with flexibility training. 6) Reduced muscular soreness. Recent studies have indicated that slow, Static stretching is extremely effective in reducing local- ized delayed muscular sore- ness after exercise. 7) Improved muscular balance and postural aware- Flexibility helps realign soft tissue structures which may have adapted Poorly to the effects of grav- ity and postural habits. ‘creased risk of low back pain. Strong clinical evidence indicates that lumbo-pelvic flexibility, including hamstrings, hip flexors, and muscle attach- ments to the pelvis, is criti- cal in decreasing stress to the lumbar spine. 9 Reduced stress. Stretching promotes muscu- lar relaxation. 10) Enhanced enjoyment. Flexibility training increases a sense of well-being. To ensure that embark on a flexibility pro- gram that is specific to your needs, consult a profession- al. Just as flexibility can enhance your overall well- being, it can cause injury if done incorrectly. aurie Burns is an Exercise Physiologist and operates Work That Body Fitness Programs Inc. in Georgetown.
