Factors Affecting Flexibility
Bone Geometry: Human differences exist within a large group of individuals, which may limit of enhance inherent range of movement in joints. Concave and convex joint surfaces may dictate normal limits of joint movement among individuals.
Joint capsule: Inherent “tight” or “loose” capsules may also dictate a certain degree of joint limitations or extensibility.
Ligament: Ligament provide static joint integrity by limiting joint disarticulation. In normal non-pathological individuals, ligaments may not influence normal range of movement. With the exception of pregnancy and the changes within the body from the hormone Relaxin.
Muscle Tendons Units: The elastic and plastic properties of muscle and tendon influence range of motion to the greatest degree.
Collagen-Ground substance-Connective Tissue: To a lesser degree, peri-articular soft tissue can influence flexibility.
Temperature: Increased metabolism, heat and cold can have dramatic affects on joint range of motion. The time of day will indirectly affect temperature as well.
Age: Pre-adolescents, adolescents, and older individuals may be predisposed to limitations in because of growth spurts and relative inactivity and sedentary life style.
