AIM: To measure a person's flexibility
The sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles. However, it is commonly used as a general test of flexibility.
Sit and Reach box
Remove your shoes and sit with your feet flat against the sit and reach box with your legs straight out.
Place your hands on top of each other, palms facing down and raise your arms straight above your head.
Reach forward as far as you can and hold them there for at least two seconds while your partner records your score. You must not bounce or jerk, your hands should stay on top of each other and your legs must remain flat.
Repeat 3 times and record your best score
