Your Reach vs Sit-and-Reach Distance
How the Sit-and-Reach Test Works
Procedure
1. Sit on the floor with legs straight and feet flat against a sit-and-reach box. 2. Reach forward as far as possible, keeping knees straight. 3. The box is set so that the feet are at the 26 cm mark. Reaching the toes = 26 cm.
Benchmarks (Male 18-30)
Why Flexibility Matters
Good hamstring and lower-back flexibility reduces injury risk, improves posture, and enhances athletic performance. It tends to decrease with age without regular stretching.
