Anatomical range of movement of a joint or series of joints / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses of the term, see flexibility (disambiguation).
Flexibility is the anatomical range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion. Flexibility varies between individuals, particularly in terms of differences in muscle length of multi-joint muscles. Flexibility in some joints can be increased to a certain degree by exercise, with stretching a common exercise component to maintain or improve flexibility.
