Question

Explain the types of flexibility.

Answer 1

1. Passive flexibility: The joint movement is performed with external help, such as assistance from another person. It generally allows a greater range of motion than active flexibility.
2. Active flexibility: The movement is performed without external help. It is divided into:
   • Static flexibility: Movement around a joint is performed while sitting or standing in a stationary position.
   • Dynamic flexibility: Movement around a joint is performed while the body is moving.
