Detailed explanation-1: -Flexibility is the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through an unrestricted, pain free range of motion. Although flexibility varies widely from person to person, minimum ranges are necessary for maintaining joint and total body health.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flexibility is classified into two types: static and dynamic. Static flexibility is a measure of the limits of a joints overall range of motion.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are considered to be three main types of stretching methods for muscle flexibility. These are static stretching, dynamic stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
