The passive range available around a joint or across tissues.
Why Flexibility matters
Flexibility can influence exercise positions, but more range is not always necessary or better.
A practical example
A supported hamstring stretch measures passive range differently from an active leg raise.
Common mistake
Forcing end ranges or assuming every technique issue is caused by tight muscles.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
