What is the Sit and Reach Test?

The Sit and Reach Test is the most widely used flexibility test in fitness and health settings. It measures posterior chain flexibility, mainly hamstrings and lower back. Developed by Wells and Dillon in 1952, it is recommended by the ACSM as part of a standard physical assessment battery.

Enter the distance reached in centimeters on the flexibility box. On a standard box, 26 cm corresponds to the point where the feet touch the box.
