Determining the client's level of flexibility is used to identify what?

Determining a client's level of flexibility is primarily used to assess their overall range of motion. Flexibility refers to the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through a full, unrestricted range of motion. This assessment is crucial in identifying potential limitations that could affect performance in physical activities, contribute to injuries, or guide specific exercise recommendations aimed at enhancing mobility.

Improving flexibility can lead to better movement efficiency, allowing individuals to engage in their physical pursuits more effectively. A well-developed range of motion is vital for executing various exercises safely and effectively, ultimately supporting the client’s fitness goals. Recognizing these aspects through flexibility assessments can help trainers develop tailored programs that enhance performance and prevent injury, making understanding overall range of motion a key component in fitness training.
