These studies suggest that flexibility can be increased through methods such as the modified contract-relax method, dynamic flexibility training exercises, static stretching combined with stabilizing exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and consistent stretching duration, while warming up by jogging does not significantly affect joint flexibility.
Flexibility is a crucial component of physical fitness, contributing to overall health, injury prevention, and enhanced performance in various activities. Various methods and techniques have been studied to determine the most effective ways to improve flexibility.

Impact of Strength Training:
To increase flexibility, incorporating a variety of stretching techniques such as static stretching, PNF, and CR methods is beneficial. Combining stretching with warm-up exercises like jogging can enhance results, particularly for specific joints. Longer and more frequent stretching sessions yield better flexibility improvements. Additionally, integrating stretching with stabilizing exercises or practices like yoga can further enhance flexibility. Properly designed strength training programs can also contribute positively to flexibility.
