Flexibility Test
This document describes two flexibility tests - the Sit and Reach test and the Shoulder Stretch test. The Sit and Reach test measures hamstring and lower back flexibility using a tape measure and cardboard. Participants warm up, sit with the tape measure between their legs, and reach forward four times to measure flexibility. The Shoulder Stretch test measures shoulder flexibility by having participants reach over each shoulder and try to touch fingers behind their back. Scores are recorded as a distance for Sit and Reach and pass/fail for each shoulder in the Shoulder Stretch test.
