    The sit-and-reach test measures lower body flexibility. The tester sits with their back against a wall and reaches their hands as far forward as possible along a measuring tape without bending their knees. A partner positions the tape and records the farthest distance reached over two trials. Scores are interpreted on a scale from 1 to 5 based on centimeters reached, with higher scores indicating better flexibility.
