Flexibility Tests

 

By completing regular flexibility tests, your range of motion strengthens and your risk of injury becomes less likely when exercising. Using the following flexibility tests to measure the range of hip and trunk movement is recommended if you are participating in physical activity.

 

Flexibility exercises are the most undervalued element of fitness. Not only does it reduce risk of injury, performing flexibility exercises improves posture, helps prevent lower back pain and relaxes tissues.
