Accepted Answer

The term "flexibility" refers to the range of motion available at a particular joint or series of joints. Flexibility is an aspect of physical fitness that denotes the ability of a joint to move through its complete spectrum of movements without pain or restriction. It is influenced by several factors, including the elasticity of the muscles and tendons, the shape of the bones and cartilage at the joint, the amount of synovial fluid within the joint, the temperature of the joint and surrounding tissues, and the nervous system's ability to relax and contract muscles effectively.

Good flexibility can contribute to improved athletic performance, better posture, reduced risk of injury, and increased functional abilities in daily life. It can be enhanced through various activities, such as stretching exercises, yoga, pilates, and dynamic movements that take joints through their full range of motion. Flexibility training is often incorporated into fitness routines to maintain or improve the ease of movement throughout the body.
