Flexibility is maximum possible range of motion about a joint without adversely affecting strength.
You can apply Functional Range of Motion in real life or sporting situations. FRoM is starkly different than just lying on the ground and stretching muscles to full length. FRoM is part of an integrated body action that requires –
- balance,
- strength of muscles and connective tissue
Such training allows for easier and deeper movements while building strength and stability. “Strengthen what you stretch, and stretch after you strengthen!”
