True
You can be too flexible?
True
This form of stretching is characterized by its rapid, jerky movement:
ballistic
Which of the following is not a benefit of flexibility training?
increases strength when used after the warm-up
When a muscle stretches too fast, this causes it to contract:
muscle spindle
Which is the definition of elasticity?
the ability to return to original resting length after passive stretch
Which is the definition of plasticity?
the tendency to assume a new and greater length after passive stretch
The ideal workout routing would be performed in the following order:
warm-up, workout, cool-down, stretch
What affects the ROM around a given joint?
All the above
The most effective frequency of stretching is:
Daily
A warmer muscle has a decreased ROM
False
Range of Motion (ROM) is the ability to change directions rapidly.
False
When a muscle has too much tension, this causes it to relax:
GTO

Age is a contributing factor to flexibility?
TRue
Excessive sitting can result in:
all the above
Which is the definition of hyperlaxity?
allows the joints to achieve a ROM that exceeds the normal range of motion
Which method of stretching is acceptable to do after the warm-up and before the workout?
dynamic
