What is it?
When we talk about mobility, we mean training that involves several joints and muscles at the same time. Usually, different types of stretching exercises are included. A perfect example of this is Yoga, which works great for stretching muscles and joints – which leads to becoming more flexible in both body and muscles.
ISC on mobility
Simply, there is passive and active mobility training. Mobility is usually divided into two categories: flexibility and mobility.
Flexibility is how far you can get out in a movement passively, and it can be achieved through, for example, static stretching. However, great flexibility does not guarantee that you can move in and out of a position with control.
Mobility is the ability to control a movement in its final position. During training, you load extreme positions to get a long-term change in the range of motion. You “assure” the brain that you can control the end position in a joint in a safe way. Examples of mobility training are strength training in a full range of motion, yoga where you repeatedly go in and out of a position with control.
