F-L-E-X-ibility
• What is flexibility?• How is the term flexibility used in the
movement/exercise world?• Are there any other uses for the term
flexibility besides people’s muscles?• Give examples
1st-5
• All of our movements show flexibility. • It is important to stretch but every movement
lengthens and shortens muscles. • Yoga (slow) gets the joints “oiled” and ready
for the activities.
Most of us know
• Flexibility is the distance or range of motion from a joint, which may be increased by stretching.
Range of Motion
• Another way to say range of motion is to see how far or how short (distance) our joints can flex (short) and/or extend (long).
Range of motion
• Why is range of motion important to our muscles?
• Muscles contract (shorten) and get strong.• Muscles extend (lengthen) and relax through
movement.
Activity 2
• Today you will perform the activity stations.• Were there any stations where you had
difficulty going through the full range? • Evaluate yourself…
Flexibility Rubric
• After performing these exercises, evaluate (rate or grade ) yourself using the following scale.
• 1. stiff as a board (difficulty bending, extending, holding, and completing)
• 2. Stretch Armstrong- • flexible, (extend and contract as well as hold…
wide range of motion and completed)
