Mobilitetstræning

Mobilitetstræning, often translated as mobility training, refers to a type of exercise focused on improving the range of motion in joints and the extensibility of muscles. The goal is to increase the ability of the body's joints to move through their full, unrestricted range of motion, which can enhance performance in daily activities and athletic pursuits. It is distinct from flexibility training, which primarily focuses on lengthening muscles. Mobilitetstræning encompasses a broader approach, addressing the dynamic movement capabilities of joints and the surrounding soft tissues.

The practice typically involves a combination of dynamic stretching, where controlled movements are used to take joints through their range of motion, and sometimes static stretching, where a stretch is held for a period. Joint rotations, controlled leg swings, arm circles, and exercises that mimic functional movements are common components. It is often incorporated as a warm-up or cool-down activity in fitness routines, or as a standalone program. Benefits attributed to regular mobilitetstræning include reduced risk of injury, improved posture, decreased muscle soreness, and enhanced athletic performance by allowing for more efficient movement patterns. It is considered an important aspect of overall physical health and functional fitness for individuals of all ages and activity levels.
