Diversos fatores podem influenciar a flexibilidade, alguns deles relacionados ao próprio envelhecimento e a inatividade física de longo prazo, tais como menor hidratação dos tecidos, perda progressiva de massa muscular, acúmulo de tecido adiposo nos tecidos periarticulares e redução das fibras elásticas 29 .…”
