Flexibility Test

Updated

The Flexibility Test in Zing Coach is an innovative way to assess how flexible your muscles are using just your smartphone camera. Powered by Zing Vision, our cutting-edge motion-tracking technology, this tool helps you better understand your body’s range of motion—and provides a Flexibility Score you can track over time.

It’s perfect for anyone looking to enhance physical performance, reduce injury risk, and improve overall mobility.

 

How Does the Flexibility Test Work?

The Flexibility Test uses Zing Vision, our AI-powered computer vision system, to guide you through a short series of simple stretches.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Position your phone so it has a clear view of your body

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete a few stretches

  3. Zing Vision tracks your movement and analyzes your range of motion

  4. You’ll receive a Flexibility Score, benchmarked against your age, gender, and body data

No additional equipment is required—just your phone!

 

Why Should I Take the Flexibility Test?

Understanding your flexibility is crucial for both everyday comfort and long-term health. Here’s why this test matters:

  • Benchmark Your Flexibility: Measure flexibility across various muscle groups

  • Track Progress: Watch your score improve over time as you stretch more consistently

  • Prevent Injuries: Avoid pushing your body too far by knowing your limits

  • Enhance Performance: Increase your range of motion and improve workout effectiveness

  • Support Healthy Aging: Flexibility helps with posture, balance, and day-to-day activities

 

How Often Should I Take the Test?

To get the most value out of the Flexibility Test, we recommend the following schedule:

  • Before Starting a Stretching Routine: Establish your baseline

  • Every 4–6 Weeks: Track your progress and update your goals

Consistent testing helps you stay motivated and tailor your training based on real results.

 

How Can I Improve My Flexibility Score?

Boosting your score takes time, patience, and the right exercises. Here are some key tips:

  • Incorporate Zing’s Stretching Workouts regularly into your plan

  • Focus on Target Areas identified by your score (e.g., hamstrings, shoulders)

  • Be Consistent: Flexibility improves gradually with repeated effort

  • Retake the Test after a few weeks to measure your progress

 

What's the Difference Between Flexibility and Mobility?

These terms are often confused, but they measure different things:

  • Flexibility: The ability of muscles to lengthen and stretch

  • Mobility: The ability of joints to move through their full range of motion

The Flexibility Test focuses on muscle flexibility, but improved flexibility also contributes to better mobility.
