Sit and Reach Test (Flexibility Test)
Sit and Reach Test (Flexibility Test)
The Sit and Reach Test was first propounded by Wells and Dillon in 1952. This test is widely used as a normal test to assess flexibility.
Purpose:
To sit and reach test is a significant test to measure the flexibility of the region including the lower back and hamstring muscles. Generally, it is noted that since owing to lack of flexibility in this region there is a greater risk of injury. It is also associated with lumbar lordosis and lower back pain.
Infrastructure/Equipment Required:
Sit-and-reach box as a measuring object and a box may be used in which the zero mark can be adjusted for each individual according to their sitting reach level because there is a variation of lengths of individual’s arms and legs.
Procedure:
First of all, shoes and socks should be removed. Then sit down on the floor with legs stretched out straight ahead. The soles of the feet should be kept flat against the box. Both the knees should be locked and pressed flat to the floor. An assistant may hold the knees down. Palms should be facing downwards. Hands should be on top of each other or side by side. The individual whose flexibility is to be measured tries to extend his both hands forward along the measuring line on the box as far he can extend. His fingertips of both hands should remain equal and at the same level. He should not jerk or bounce to reach the maximum distance.
Scoring:
The score is recorded to the nearest centimetre or half inch based on the distance reached by the fingertips of both hands.
