flexibility test

Range-of-motion evaluation

A flexibility test measures the range of motion in joints and the ability of muscles to stretch.

Common examples include the sit-and-reach test, where you extend toward your toes while seated with legs straight.

Fitness assessments, physical therapy evaluations, and athletic training programs use flexibility tests to identify tightness or imbalances: She failed the flexibility test because of tight hamstrings.
