Uhh..I've always thought that exercise does not increase "bone flexibility". I think stretching more than plain exercise increases the elasticity, tone, and overall strength of the tendons and muscles covering the bones, which is really what dictates how flexible you are. The better shape your tendons and muscles are, the more range of motion and flexibility you will have.
Maybe that's why people who do yoga have such flexible and supple bodies...because yoga focuses mostly on muscular control and incorporates alot of stretching.
I don't know if that's a fact..it's just my reasoning. I could be completely wrong, who knowwss?

Younger people are more flexible than older people because younger people stretch more and exercise more as they are much more flexible.
