Mobility vs Flexibility in Athletic Performance
The distinction between mobility and flexibility lies in the fact that mobility encompasses the complete range of motion, ensuring not just flexibility but strength and control throughout the entire movement. Improving mobility enhances performance on the field by extending the range of motion for various actions like reaching, rotating, throwing, or punching. Athletes tend to focus on their comfortable range of motion, but enhancing mobility, or end range strength, widens their skill set and capabilities, allowing for better athletic performance.
