  4. Corrective, Active, Functional
Explanation
Answer - D - In order, the three phases of the Flexibility Continuum are Corrective, Active, and Functional. Corrective flexibility is designed to increase range of motion, correct muscle imbalances, and fix altered joint motion by using self-myofascial release and static stretching. Active flexibility is designed to improve neuromuscular efficiency and increase extensibility of soft tissue by using self-myofascial release and active stretching. Functional flexibility requires that an individual perform self-myofascial release as well as dynamic stretching without compensations.
