Hi Sorry for what is probably a reallllly slow reply, just saw it. Active flexibility is defined as the ROM available through muscle control, without the assistance of gravity, or any other aid. For example lifting and holding a leg up as high as you can..that is active flexibility. Leg kicks, and leaps are dynamic flexibility.

Hi rly They very much do. The Americans are still using it (in the Olympic Training Center). And so are the russians and Chinease as far as i know. I know that Dr Bill Sands, and Jenny McNeil recently (like 2007) did some more research on the effect of Vibration and flexibility of gymnasts, but i am not sure if they have released any new study findings. Sorry of taking so long to reply.
