Flexibility-a joint's capacity to travel through a full range of motion.
Improve your flexibility and range of motion (helps prevent injuries) by doing strength exercises with a full range of motion, unless you are in rehabilitation. Rehab exercises are done to restore your full range of motion. It is a misconception that strength training makes your body's muscles tight and inflexible. This won't happen if you consistently improve your joints' range of motion and perform exercises with full range of motion. You can be strong and flexible. Doing regular stretching and flexibility exercises also improves your range of motion.
