WHS Components of Fitness

What is the definition of Flexibility?

• The ability of the heart, lungs and blood to transport oxygen during sustained exercise. Our heart and lungs are able to cope with activity for relatively long periods of time without getting tired.

• The ability to move all or part of the body or move from one point to another as quickly as possible.

• The ability of a muscle to apply force and overcome resistance or the amount of force a muscle can exert.

• The ability to use voluntary (skeletal) muscles repeatedly without tiring.

• The range of movement (ROM) at a joint. It is the ability to move the joints through their full range of motion.
