Which of the following is not a benefit of improved flexibility? a. it prepare your body for workouts. b. it makes your muscles stronger. c. it prevent injuries. d. it improves your range of motion.

B. It makes your muscles stronger.

Explanation:

Flexibility can be defined as the availability of a joint to be moved along the full range of motion. It is a characteristic of each joint, and depends not only on this joint, but also on its surrounding tissue, namely ligaments, muscles and tendons. It is partially conditioned by the genetic component of the individual. It decreases progressively after the end of musculoskeletal development.

With enhanced flexibility, an individual has more movement availability, can better prepare his body to begin physical activity, is less likely to get an injury, and has an improved range of motion. However, enhanced flexibility does not promote muscle strengthening.
