1. Static flexibility: the ability to stretch a muscle and hold it in a stretched position for an extended period of time.
2. Dynamic flexibility: the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion with control and without pain.
3. Active flexibility: the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion using only the muscles surrounding that joint.
4. Passive flexibility: the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion with the help of an external force, such as a partner or a prop.
5. Functional flexibility: the ability to perform daily activities and sports movements with ease and without risk of injury.
6. Mobility: the ability to move a joint freely and easily through its full range of motion.
7. Stretching: the act of lengthening muscles and tendons to increase flexibility and range of motion.

Types of Flexibility:
1. Static Flexibility (Passive Flexibility): - The range of motion achieved through sustained stretching and relaxation. - Involves holding a specific position for an extended period. - Requires flexibility in muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
2. Dynamic Flexibility (Active Flexibility): - The ability to move through a range of motion while in motion. - Involves stretching and contracting muscles while moving. - Requires flexibility, coordination, and balance.
3. Active Flexibility: - The ability to actively move through a range of motion without the assistance of external forces. - Involves conscious effort to extend, contract, and manipulate the body.
4. Passive Flexibility: - The ability to be moved through a range of motion by an external force (e.g., a partner or stretching machine). - Involves relaxation and allowing the body to be moved by an external force.
5. Neural Flexibility: - The ability of the nervous system to adapt to new movements and ranges of motion. - Involves learning and practicing new movement patterns.
6. Bouncy Flexibility: - The ability to quickly bounce out of a stretched position and into a new one. - Involves elasticity in muscles and tendons.
7. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): - A technique that uses specific movements and contractions to increase flexibility. - Involves contraction, relaxation, and stretching.
