What does elasticity yield in terms of ROM gains?

1. Shorter gains

2. Longer gains

3. No gains

4. Infinite gains

The correct answer is: Shorter gains

Elasticity in terms of ROM gains means that the muscles and tendons in our body are able to stretch and move to their fullest potential without causing any damage or strain. Option A is the correct answer because when we have optimal elasticity, we are able to achieve shorter gains, meaning that we can stretch or move our muscles and tendons to a greater extent, leading to increased flexibility and range of motion. Option B is incorrect because longer gains may suggest that our muscles and tendons are overextended, which can cause injury or strain. Option C is incorrect because having no gains would mean that our muscles and tendons are not able to stretch at all, leading to limited movement and flexibility. Option D is incorrect because infinite gains are not possible as our muscles and tendons have their own limitations and cannot stretch indefinitely without causing harm.
