8. SIT AND REACH
The sit-and-reach test was first propounded by Wells and Dillon in 1952.T
his test is widely used as a normal test to assess flexibility.
Purpose: The sit-and reach test is a significant test to measure the flexibilit
y of hip region including the lower back and hamstring muscles. Generally,
it is noted that owing to the lack of flexibility in this region, there is a grea
ter risk of injury. It is also entangled with lumber lordosis and lower back p
ain.
Equipment Requirement: sit and reach box or a makeshift ruler and a box
may be used in which the zero mark can be adjusted for each individual ac
cording to their sitting reach level because there is a variation of lengths of
individual’s arms and legs.
Procedure:- first of all, Shoes should be removed. Then sit down on the fl
oor with legs stretched out straight ahead. The soles of the feet should be
kept flat against the box. Both the knees should be locked and pressed flat
to the floor. An assistant may hold the knees down. Palm should be facing
downwards. Hand should be on top of the each other or side by side. The
individual, whose flexibility is to be measured tries to extend his/her both
hands forward along the measuring line on the box as far as he/she can ex
tend.
Scoring: the score is recorded to the nearest centimeter or half inches bas
ed on the distance reached by the fingertips of both hands.

ghs. Head should be in neutral position. This is the startin
g position. Then, the subject curls up with a slow controlle
d movement, until his/her shouldered come off the cushio
ned surface or mat two inches then back down again.
Scoring: Record the total no of partial curl ups. It should n
ot be counted if the shoulders are not raised up by two in
ches. 10

18. How to conduct the Test (HST)
The athlete warms up for 10 minutes
The assistant gives the command “Go” and starts the
stopwatch
The athlete steps up and down onto a standard gym
bench(45cm) for five minutes at a rate 30 steps/min
ute (150 steps)
The assistant stops the test after 5 minutes.
The assistant measures the athlete’s heart (bpm) one
minute after finishing the test pulse1
The assistant measures the athlete’s rate (bpm) two
minutes after finishing the test - Pulse-2
The assistant measures the athlete’s heart rate (bpm)
three minutes after finishing the test pulse-3
18
ROCKWOOD HIGH SCHOOL,UDAIPUR
9829037221,7014734358
19. Computation of Fitness Index (HST)
Short formula = Fitness Index= (100 × test duration in
seconds)/ (5.5 × pulse count between 1 and 1.5 mm)
Long Formula (100 × test duration in seconds) /(2 × su
m of heart beats in the recovery periods).
The fitness index score is determined by the following
equations.
For example. If the total test time was 300 seconds (if
completed the whole 5 minutes) and the number of
heart beats between 1-1.5 minutes was 90. between 2-
2.5 it was 80 and between 3-3.5 it was 70, then the lo
ng form fitness index score would be : (100x300) / (2
40x2) = 62.5.
Note: you are using the total number of heart beats in
the 30 second period. Not the rate (beats per minute)
during that time.

t (Kilne 1987) is to monitor the development of the athlet
e’s VO2 max.

22. SCORING (ROMWT)
A VO2max Score can be calculated u
sing the following equation :
Females : VO2 =- 139.168 - (0.388 x
age) - (0.077 x weight in lb.) - (3.265
x walk time in minutes) - (0.156 x he
art rate).
Males : add 6.318 to the equation
for females above.

29. Chair Sit and Reach Test (RJSCT)
Purpose : This test measures lower body flexibility.
Equipment required :- Ruler, straight back or folding chair, (about 17 inches /
44 cm high).
Procedure : The subject sit on the edge a chair (placed against a wall for safety)
One foot must remain flat on the floor. The other leg is extended forward with

top of the other with tips of the middle fingers even. Instruct the subject to In
hale, and then as they exhale, reach forward toward the toes by bending at the
hip. Keep the back straight and head up. Avoid bouncing or quick movements,
and never stretch to the point of pain. Keep the knee straight, and hold the
reach for 2 seconds. Perform two trials.
Scoring : The score is recorded to the nearest 1/2 inch or 1 cm as the distance
reached, either a negative or positive score. The distance is measured between t
he tip of the fingertips and the toes. If the fingertips touch the toes then the sc
ore is zero. If they do not touch, measure the distance between the fingers and
the toes (a negative score). If they overlap. measure by how much (a positive
score).
