Introduction to the Sit & Reach Test

It is clear that good flexibility is required in the majority of sports where maximum amplitude of movement is required for carrying out best possible technique or skill.

Examining and measuring this component is therefore essential to monitor physical conditioning and to assess if poor flexibility is associated with injury.

Flexibility is predominantly measured with the sit-and-reach-test. The test subject sits on the floor, with their back against the wall, legs extended fully, soles of the feet pressed against the sit and reach box. The individual bends forward and reaches their fingertips as far as possible. The score is then recorded.

This is a simple yet invaluable tool to monitor the progression of flexibility following a prescribed flexibility regime.
