1. Which of the following best defines Range of Motion (ROM)?
The ability of a muscle to contract with maximum force.
The full movement potential of a joint, usually its range of flexion and extension.
The speed at which a person can move from one point to another.
The amount of time a muscle can sustain a contraction.
2. Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects an individual's range of motion?
Joint structure
Muscle elasticity
Cardiovascular endurance
Age and gender
3. The two main types of flexibility are flexibility and flexibility.
4. stretching involves slowly moving a limb to its end range of motion and holding it for a period of time.
5. Dynamic stretching is most effective when performed before a workout to prepare muscles for activity.
True
False
6. Poor range of motion can increase the risk of injury during physical activity.
True
False
7. Briefly explain the difference between static and dynamic stretching, and when each is most appropriately used.
8. Describe two common methods for assessing an individual's range of motion in a physical education setting.
Match each term on the left with its correct description on the right.
9. Flexibility
a. The range of movement possible at a joint.
10. Hyperextension
