The Sit and reach test is one of the linear flexibility tests which helps to measure the extensibility of the hamstrings and lower back.[2] It was initially described by Wells and Dillon in 1952 and is probably the most used flexibility test. It has a simple procedure, is easy to administer, requires minimal skills training for its application, and the equipment necessary to perform the test is affordable. Furthermore, it is also a field test which is easy to administer in a community setting with a large scale of population size.[3]
