  • MUSCULOSKELETAL invovled in the performance of all types of physical activities. The use of our ligaments, tendons, and joints underlies every single one of our movements.
  • Mobility - Active
  • Flexibility - Passive
  • Flexibility - The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to lengthen passively through a range of motion.
  • Flexibility - Refers to the muscle’s strength, which allows for a more excellent range of motion or mobility during physical activity.
  • Mobility - The ability to move a joint actively through a range of motion with control.
  • proprioception – the sense of the body’s position in space.
  • Range of motion – the distance with which the joints can move.
  • Mobility – ability to move without constraint.
  • Flexibility - Stretching (reduce tension of muscles and joints) is good for AFTER WORKOUT
  • Mobility - Enhance the ability of your nervous system to activate muscles for movement. BEFORE WORKOUT
  • FLEXIBILITY- Complete range of motion in a joint or group of joints, as well as the length of muscle crossing the area.
  • MOBILITY - Incorporates the entire body moving as one unit, enhancing coordination for precise, controlled movement.
  • Static streches to increase FLEXIBILITY will only increase the range of motion in a passive manner around a specific joint.
  • MOBILITY- Ability to move well with coordination and a lack of restriction.
  • FLEXIBILITY - Fewer injuries
  • FLEXIBILITY- Less pain
  • FLEXIBILITY- Improved posture and balance
  • FLEXIBILITY- A positive state of mind.
  • FLEXIBILITY- Greater strength
  • FLEXIBILITY- Improved physical performance.
  • MOBILITY- greater joint range of motion and freedom of movement.
  • MOBILITY- improved circulation
  • MOBILITY- decreased risk of injury
  • MOBILITY- reduced muscle tension and soreness
  • MOBILITY- improved posture
  • MOBILITY- improved movement efficiency
  • STRECHING- is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon is deliberately flexed or stretched to improve the muscle’s felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone.
  • STATIC STRECHING- safest method of stretching. It should be held for 20 to 30 seconds where you can feel the stretch but do not experience discomfort.
  • BALLISTIC STRETCHING- performed at speed and prescribed by your sports physiotherapist or elite sport coach. They can often be part of your warm-up for support or training.
  • DYNAMIC STRETCHING- involves muscle movements that move a joint thorough the full range of movement that will be required in your chosen sport or activity.
  • PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION (PNF) STRETCHING- involves a component of stretch – muscle contraction – and further stretch.  
  • BASIC STRENGTH EXERCISES are fundamental movements that target major muscle groups and help improve overall strength, stability, and muscular endurance.
  • STRENGTH- refers to the ability of your muscles to generate force against resistance.
  • POWER- involves the ability to generate force quickly, combining both strength and speed.
  • MUSCULAR ENDURANCE- is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions over a period of time without fatigue.
  • The human body is composed of over 600 muscles.
  • SIX GROUP MUSCLES OF RESISTANCE TRAINING: CHEST, ARMS, HAMSTRINGS, GLUTES, SHOULDERS, BACK
  • PECTORALIS – largest muscle.
  • muscles of the upper extremity - consist of various muscles located in the upper arm, forearm, and hand.
