FLEXIBLE GIRLS/BEND IT LIKE
Flexibility or limberness refers to the range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion. 
Flexibility varies between individuals, particularly in terms of differences in muscle length of multi-joint muscles. Flexibility in some joints can be increased to a certain degree by exercise, with stretching a common exercise component to maintain or improve flexibility.







Hypermobility, also known as double-jointedness, describes joints that stretch farther than normal.


The joints in a human body are surrounded by synovial membranes and articular cartilage which cover, cushion, and nourish the joint and surfaces of each. Increasing muscular elasticity of the joint's range of mobility increases flexibility.


Ligaments are composed of two different tissues: white and yellow. The white fibrous tissues are not stretchy but are extremely strong so that even if the bone were fractured the tissue would remain in place. The white tissue allows subjective freedom of movement.

 The yellow elastic tissue can be stretched considerably and return to its original length.

Tendons are not elastic and are even less stretchy. Tendons are categorized as connective tissue. Connective tissue supports surrounds and binds the muscle fibers. They contain both elastic and non-elastic tissue.



Stretch receptors have two parts: Spindle cells and Golgi tendons. Spindle cells, located in the center of a muscle, send messages for the muscle to contract. On the other hand, Golgi tendon receptors are located near the end of muscle fiber and send messages for the muscle to relax.
 As these receptors are trained through continual use, stretching becomes easier. When reflexes that inhibit flexibility have released the splits then become easier to perform. The splits use the body's complete range of motion and provide a complete stretch.

Flexibility is improved by stretching. Stretching should only be started when muscles are warm and the body temperature is raised. To be effective while stretching, force applied to the body must be held just beyond a feeling of pain and needs to be held for at least ten seconds.
 Increasing the range of motion creates good posture and develops proficient performance in everyday activities increasing the length of life and overall health of the individual.

PREGNANCY EXERCISE Regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy appears to improve (or maintain) physical fitness. Physical exercise during pregnancy does appear to decrease the need for C-section. Bed rest, outside of research studies, is not recommended as there is no evidence of benefit and potential harm. The Clinical Practice Obstetrics Committee of Canada recommends that "All women without contraindications should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength-conditioning exercises as part of a healthy lifestyle during their pregnancy". Although an upper level of safe exercise intensity has not been established, women who were regular exercisers before pregnancy and who have uncomplicated pregnancies should be able to engage in high-intensity exercise programs. In general, participation in a wide range of recreational activities appears to be safe, with the avoidance of those with a high risk of falling such as horseback riding or skiing or those that carry a risk

SMITHY SKILL                                                                  https://youtu.be/k6-KsoYYoYE A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects from wrought iron or steel by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut (cf. tinsmith). Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils, and weapons. There was a historical opposition between the heavy work of the blacksmith and the more delicate operation of a whitesmith, who usually worked in gold, silver, pewter, or the finishing steps of fine steel. The place where a blacksmith works are called variously a smithy, a forge, or a blacksmith's shop. While there are many people who work with metal such as farriers, wheelwrights, and armorers, in former times the blacksmith had a general knowledge of how to make and repair many things, from the most complex of weapons and armor to sim

Prosthesis In  medicine , a  prosthesis  from  Ancient Greek   prosthesis , or  prosthetic  implant   is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or a condition present at birth ( congenital disorder ).  Prostheses are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part.   Amputee  rehabilitation is primarily coordinated by a  physiatrist  as part of an interdisciplinary team consisting of physiatrists, prosthetists, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists.   Prostheses can be created by hand or with  computer-aided design  (CAD), a software interface that helps creators design and analyze the creation with computer-generated  2-D  and  3-D graphics  as well as analysis and optimization tools. Iron prosthetic hand believed to have been owned by Götz von Berlichingen (1480–1562) Over the years, there have been advancements in artificial limbs. New plastics and other materials, such as  carbon fiber
