16
Q

Why does length and elasticity affect felexiblity?

A

The greater the length and elasticity the greater the range of motion on the joint because shorter connective tissue has a smaller distance before the joint reflex

17
Q

How does gender affect flexibility?

A

Females are generally more flexible than males as they have more oestrogen and relaxin

18
Q

How does age affect flexibility?

A

Declines with age because the connective tissue loses elasticity

19
Q

Types of flexibility training?

A

Goniometry

Sit and reach test

20
Q

What are the structural adaptations of flexibility training?

A

Increased muscle length and connective tissue length

Increase in elasticity

21
Q

Functional affects of increased muscle length and connective tissue length?

A

Increased range of movement about a joint

22
Q

Functional effects of increased elasticity?

A

Increased potential for static and dynamic flexibility

23
Q

Define aerobic capacity

A

Ability of the the body to inspire, transport and untilise O2 to preform sustained periods of aerobic activity

24
Q

Define V02 max

A

Max amount of O2 inspired, transported and utilised per minute during exercise
