Flexibility
Definition- The capacity of a joint or muscle to move through it full range of motion (from http://www.topendsports.com/fitness/flexibility.htm)
How it is used in sport- Flexibility is an important component in diving. One needs flexibility to be able to achieve diving positions without injury. Flexibility is also good for presentation in diving. Gymnastics is an other sport that requires flexibility, without a certain amount of flexibility you could injure yourself.
Ratings- I have an 'excellent level' of flexibility for 13 year old females.
