sit and reach
Hamstring flexibility assessment
A sit and reach is a flexibility test measuring how far you can extend your hands toward or past your toes while seated with legs straight.
Standard in fitness assessments and physical education classes, it primarily tests hamstring and lower back flexibility: I could barely touch my toes on the sit and reach.
