CORRELATION BETWEEN STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY By: Billy Wilson INTRODUCTION There are four basic components to physical fitness. Muscular Endurance, Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Flexibility Muscular Strength- the ability of the muscle to generate the maximum amount of force Flexibility- the ability to move a joint through the full range of motion without discomfort or pain PURPOSE AND HYPOTHESIS Purpose The major purpose of this study was to determine a correlation between an individual’s muscular strength and flexibility. Hypothesis The null hypothesis for this study states: There was no correlation between an individual’s muscular strength and flexibility. PROBLEM AND NEED Problem The study was designed to answer the question: Was there a correlation between an individual’s muscular strength and flexibility? Need It is important to maximize both strength and flexibility since they are both components of physical fitness. It is important to know the relationship between flexibility and muscular strength. LIMITATIONS The major limitations of the study were: The researcher was not the one who collected the data. There were multiple testers. The researcher was not present when the tests were taken. All testers may not have been using exactly the same joint reference points when calculating range of motion. Goniometry is not the most accurate form of determining flexibility. DELIMITATIONS The major delimitations of the study were: All the subjects were volunteers. All the subjects were students at a university in Southeast Tennessee. All subjects were tested in a class designed specifically for research testing. The tests were taken in the 2007 school year. All subjects were between the ages of 18-38. The strength test was delimited to the one repetition max. CHAPTER 2 INTRO Physical fitness is defined as a set of attributes that people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical activity. Muscular Strength- the maximum amount
