Abstract :

Background– Flexibility is commonly accepted as an important component in reducing the prevention for injury. Regular physical exercise is important for younger generations, especially with the rise of obesity in children.

Objectives– To compare basic flexibility among school going boys and girls aged 13 to 17.

Method– 100 subjects were allocated into two groups. Group A having 49 boys and Group B having 51 girlswere assessed for basic flexibility with the help of sit and reach test and trunk rotation test.

Result–There was significant difference of flexibility between group A and B and the result of trunk rotation test showed no significant difference between group A and group B.

Conclusion– This study concluded that group A was having more flexibility than group B using sit and reach test. On the other hand, group A flexibility was same to group B using trunk rotation test.
