Abstract
Abstract One hundred and fifty-eight male pupils in elementary school were measured on two hip flexibility tests and several anthropometric measures. The primary purpose was to determine the relationship among the flexibility tests in the anteroposterior plane and the selected anthropometric measures. Results indicate that: (a) no significant relationship exists between flexibility of the hip joint and length of body segments; (b) satisfactory objectivity coefficients were obtained for the flexibility tests and measures of body length; (c) examination of the extremes of the distribution of lower limb length seems to support the fact that flexibility is independent of lower limb length; (d) 46.8 percent of the subjects failed the Wells Sit and Reach Test, while 54.4 percent could not pass the Adapted Kraus-Weber Floor Touch Test.
