How many days per week should flexibility training be performed according to recommended guidelines?

1-2 days/week
2-7 days/week
3-5 days/week
4-6 days/week

The correct answer is: 2-7 days/week

Flexibility training is an important aspect of a comprehensive exercise program, and according to recommended guidelines, performing flexibility training 2 to 7 days per week is ideal. This frequency allows for optimal improvements in range of motion, reduces the risk of injury, and enhances overall functional capacity. Incorporating this type of training multiple times throughout the week can help individuals maintain and improve their flexibility, which is particularly beneficial as it can decrease muscle stiffness after workouts and aid in recovery. Additionally, flexibility training can be performed on a daily basis or in conjunction with other types of workouts, making it adaptable to individual schedules and fitness levels. Regularly scheduled flexibility sessions, within this range, are crucial for anyone looking to improve their athletic performance or simply maintain their daily functional movement patterns.
