Dynamic Flexibility:
What Determines Flexibility The flexibility of a joint is affected by its structure, muscle elasticity and length, and by the nervous system regulation. Some factors cannot be changed ex: joint structure Factors that can be changed through exercise are: length of resting muscle fibres (these factors should be focus of the program to develop flexibility)
Joint Structure The amount of flexibility in a joint is determined in part by nature and structure of the joint.
