Mobility vs. Flexibility: The Key to Performance, Injury Prevention, and Longevity
Unless you like to swim like a one-legged duck, mobility matters...(see pic)
Mobility is often misunderstood or overlooked in tactical/athletic training, yet it plays a crucial role in both performance and injury prevention. While related, flexibility refers to the ability of muscles to stretch/lengthen, mobility goes further to encompass not only muscle length but also joint movement throughout the natural range of motion, strength, balance, and the nervous system. This definition of optimal mobility enables athletes to perform tactical and athletic movements more effectively, maintain proper form and alignment, and therefore reduce strain on joints, tendons, and ligaments.
