FLEXIBILITY

Being able to move a joint through a full range of motions Girl

Factors Affecting Flexibility

Bone structure of the jointThe amount of tissue surrounding the

jointThe extensibility of ligaments, tendons

and muscle tissueThe third component is the one that can be

most affected by proper flexibility program

TYPES OF STRETCHING

Static Static Demonstration

Slow sustained movement.Causes the muscle to relax and lengthen

Relieves soreness when done after activity.

Dynamic Dynamic Introduction

Uses speed and momentum to encourage lengthening of the muscle.

Helps with sports performance. Simulates movement in activity.

Uses prior to a performance or practiceDynamic Introduction

When and How?

Warm up to stretch. Increase body temperature to reduce risk of injury. Warm up until you start to perspire.

Hold stretch for 15-30 seconds. Allow the muscle to relax.

Feel “Stretch Stress” – feeling of stress, but with no undue pain.

IMPROVING MUSCULAR STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, and FLEXIBILITY

Anaerobic Exercise

Intense bursts of activity in which the muscles work so hard that they produce energy

without using oxygen

ISOMETRIC EXERCISE

Muscles use tension to improve muscular strength with little or no

movement of the body partIsometric Demonstration

ISOTONIC EXERCISE

Combines muscle contraction with muscle extension

ISOKINETIC EXERCISE

Activity that involves resistance through an entire range of motion

Leg Extension/contraction

BASICS OF AN EXERCISE PROGRAM

Overload = working the body harder than it is normally worked.

Progression = Gradual increase in overload necessary for achieving higher levels of fitness.

Specificity = Improve a particular area of health related fitness.

SKILLS RELATED FITNESS

Balance Being able to stay upright either while standing or moving.

Coordination The ability to use two or more body parts

Speed Move a distance or complete a body movement in a short period of time
