Flexibility

Capacity of a joint or muscle to move through its full range of motion.

Flexibility

What it could look like:

  • Static and dynamic stretching
  • Yoga poses
  • Gymnastics
  • Dancing

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity.  At this stage I have limited movement capability and require support.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Develops and explores the body’s range of motion in movement and physical activity.

  • Exploring the body's range of motion through participating in a beginner's form of yoga
  • Sitting cross legged or bending to pick something off the floor

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Accumulates and develops the necessary flexibility to utilise the body's range of motion in a variety of movement and physical activity.

  • Regularly participating in yoga and demonstrating an increasing range of motion
  • Performing static or dynamic stretches to improve overall range of motion e.g. hamstring stretch, high kicks

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Optimises flexibility and range of motion to meet the demands of participation in diverse movement and physical activity.

  • Participating in advanced forms of Yoga and demonstrating full range of motion
  • Completing a stretch training program to improve flexibility in specific part(s) of the body, to assist performance in a particular physical activity

Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity. I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts. I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.

  • Being an accomplished tennis player, you know that determination and regulating your emotions is an important part of the game.  To complement your cardiovascular fitness you complete gym sessions several times a week as you know building muscular strength is an important factor in preventing injuries.  You enjoy the physical and mental demands of tennis and decide to further your knowledge by taking part in a coaching course. You hope to influence the culture of your tennis club by becoming a coach and being a role model for others.
