Which of the following is a direct benefit of good flexibility?

Aincreased muscle strength
Bincreased range of motion
Cimproved muscle endurance
Dnone of the above

Verified Answer :

The answer is letter B.



Flexibility is a very important component in
exercise. Without flexibility the range of motion of joints will be limited
which will result to serious injuries. Often it is the most overlooked part of
a training program but if athletes knew of the benefits it could bring they
will surely be performing this in their programs. Flexibility can be developed
through a wide variety of active and passive stretches. It improves performance
because joints can easily move and are not restricted to perform the necessary
muscle contractions needed for a particular activity.

b increased range of motion
