Fitness Lessons Flexibility and Mobility

Question 1

What is the difference between flexibility and mobility?

Accepted Answer

Flexibility is passive range of motion; mobility is active control through a range of motion

Answer

Flexibility is the passive ability of a muscle to lengthen, while mobility is the active ability to control movement through a joint's full range of motion.

Question 2

What type of stretching involves holding a stretch at end range without movement for 15–60 seconds?

Accepted Answer

Static stretching

Answer

Static stretching involves holding a position at the end range of motion for an extended period to lengthen the target muscle.

Question 3

Which type of stretching is recommended during warm-up before exercise?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic stretching

Answer

Dynamic stretching uses controlled movements that gradually increase range of motion, making it ideal for pre-exercise warm-up.

Question 4

What is ballistic stretching?

Accepted Answer

Bouncing movements that push muscles beyond their normal range

Answer

Ballistic stretching uses momentum and bouncing to force the body beyond its comfortable range, carrying higher injury risk than controlled methods.

Question 5

Which connective tissue connects muscle to bone?

Accepted Answer
