Abstract
Abstract Sixty-six college women were measured on three hip flexibility tests, an Adapted Kraus-Weber Floor Touch Test, Leighton Flexometer, and Wells Sit and Reach. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between the three selected tests of hip flexibility in the antero-posterior plane and the following anthropometric measures: distance from greater trochanter to floor, standing reach, and standing height. Results indicate: (1) No significant relationship between the flexibility of the hipjoint in the antero-posterior plane and the length of body segments; (2) The Adapted Kraus-Weber is the most objective of the three flexibility tests; (3) The Wells Sit and Reach and Adapted Kraus-Weber tests correlate .95.
