Ken, The sit and reach is a gross flexibility test of mainly the gastroc, hamstrings, glutes and lumbar extensors. It does not measure or indicate sports performance and is of little value if you do not check other ROM's, like hip extension, knee flexion, spinal extension and so on. A more comprehensive approach is needed to truly evaluate an individuals flexibility. Mike Reid Winnipeg, Canada & Gothenborg, Sweden Quote
