How many people do you know personally who have changed their flexibility dramatically once they became middle aged adults? In my experience most people seem to have a sort of set point beyond which they can only make fairly small changes.
Most people would say this about strength also.
My thinking is that all of these qualities (strength, flexibility, agility, etc) tend to get set early-ish in life depending on activity levels and movement patterns when we're young. Can any or all of them be improved? I think so, but the investment of resources becomes more expensive as one ages. Take for example the recovery and dedication it takes to build muscle tissue when you're 20 as opposed to 50.
Actually, the more I think about this isn't Dan's book Intervention about this very topic?
