Hamstring and lower back flexibility. The subject sits with legs extended against the box and reaches forward along the scale; the furthest point held for two seconds is recorded. It is the standard flexibility measure in most school and club test batteries.What is a goniometer used for? Measuring joint angle and range of motion in degrees — standard practice in physiotherapy for tracking recovery after injury or surgery.Why use an anatomical tape measure? Anatomical tapes apply a constant, reproducible tension, so girth measurements are comparable between sessions and between testers. A standard tailor's tape does not control tension and produces inconsistent readings.Shop Cartwright Fitness below, or browse all fitness testing equipment at McSport Ireland.
