Detailed explanation-1: -Flexibility is defined as “the ability of a muscle or muscle groups to lengthen passively through a range of motion”, whereas mobility is the “ability of a joint to move actively through a range of motion”. Many additional structures define how good a person’s mobility is.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mobility is important because it affects your ability to move freely throughout your daily activities without pain and strain, even outside of strenuous movements like squatting.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mobility allows us to use our arm/hand in many directions. Stability refers to the ability to restrict movement. The knee is a good example of a joint that has restricted movement in various planes, which creates a more stable platform for weight bearing activities.
