Flexibility and mobility are key components of physical fitness that directly influence sports performance and injury prevention. Flexibility refers to muscle elasticity, while mobility involves controlled joint movement.
Regular stretching and mobility exercises improve range of motion, reduce muscle stiffness, and enhance movement efficiency. Athletes with good mobility are better able to perform complex movements with proper technique and reduced injury risk.
Neglecting flexibility can lead to muscular imbalances, erotic, restricted movement, and chronic pain. Therefore, mobility training should be an integral part of any comprehensive exercise program.
