Flexibility Program Design


I


ncreased    flexibility might   be  required    because there   are move-
ment skills that need to be enhanced in the client’s sport or
daily living tasks, the client presents with postural dysfunction
related to tight musculature, decreased flexibility was noticed
during the muscle tightness testing, or the client is ramping up
the intensity of their training.

Summary


T


he personal trainer must understand how to effectively
design an efficient stretching program. The appropriate
frequency, duration, and intensity is critical. However the
most important consideration is the type of stretching that you
teach your client and whether you play an active role in that por-
tion of their workout.
