So it is sometimes difficult for us to grasp the degree of flexibility
Your back shave may have a large range of motion
But your toes touch doesn't
Or maybe you're like some coaches
Not being the best at the butterfly stretch
Here are two basic ways for you to increase flexibility:
① Function: This is your technique and reflects your awareness of flexibility. Highly functional people are able to maximize the potential of their current body.
② Structure: This will be the range of motion of your body itself, including muscles, tendons, etc. It doesn't change with your training experience, but through the accumulated flexibility training time.
Short-term stretch training may not increase your structural flexibility, these things take time; however, you will most likely increase your flexibility by improving your function or technique.
We'll also aid flexibility training by using three basic movement techniques that are used in all types of training:
Action 1
Complete the entire bodyweight squat, and through the downward and backward support you feel in the squat, your muscles are evenly engaged throughout the process.
Action 2
This movement allows you to stop at a specific point in the exercise, such as the bottom of a squat, and slowly control, moving your body up and down slightly, which can help you improve your control of specific muscles.
Action 3
You will hold a position at a specific point in the exercise.
For example, with your squat, you can pause at the bottom of the movement. This can help you improve stability during certain stretches.
