Question

A lack of flexibility is a risk factor for athletic injuries. True or false?

Answer 1

Its True :P i did it on a test

Answer 2

The correct answer is true; insufficient flexibility does indeed increase an athlete's risk of an injury. This is because a less flexible muscle is more likely to be pulled or torn by movement than one that is able to be moved in a greater range of motion. Thus, it is important for athletes to work of their flexibility.
