Purpose: To test flexibility of the Hamstring
and hips
Equipment needed: protractor
Goal: Keeping both legs straight, lift one leg to
the maximum angle with other leg remainflat
on the floor
Preliminary: Illustrate angles on a posterboard
and paste it on the wall.

Answer:

In recent years, research has been conducted to understand the anatomical causes for reduced hamstring muscle extensibility and its relation to both altered lumbopelvic movements and hamstring muscle injury. Muscle shortness refers to the length of the individual sarcomeres and their lengthening capacity. Muscle stiffness refers to the force required to effect the length of the connective tissue. These concepts focus directly on the structure of the muscle tissue and not on the neuro-mechano-sensitivity of the neural tissues for which muscles provide a dynamic container.
