    PERSONAL FITNESS ASSESSMENT1. FLEXIBILITY ASSESSMENT Table #1: Hip flexibility measurement tool Right leg Left legGoniometer 92° 84°Flexometer 94° 78°Table #2: Sitting and reachingBest test classification30.5 cm on averageᄁ COMMENT AND COMPARE TO STANDARDS AND PROVIDE CONCLUSIONS ON FLEXIBILITY: Comparing my results to According to the average results provided in Table #2 on page 2.8 of the Biophysical Evolution Laboratory Manual, my best value for seat and reach is 31.5 cm, which is considered average for a man aged 15 to 19. It's about average, so my forward bend is good but not the best for my age group. My best average hip flexion value is 86° (94° on the left leg and 78° on the right) and compared to average it is well above, so my hip flexion is excellent on average but my right leg was slightly below average. and left well above the average values ​​given on page 2.7 of the laboratory manual. Both the flexometer and the sit-and-reach are excellent tools for measuring hip flexion, but the flexometer better reflects the range of motion of the hip joint because it provides easy and accurate measurements of the range of motion angle in which a gravity constant is used (the tool operates with gravity and gravity remains constant). For the sit-and-reach test, people's results may vary due to shorter or longer body segments, so it is more difficult to compare their flexibility to the average. In my case I have longer legs, which can be disadvantageous because I am further from the tool and have to reach longer. Someone else might have shorter legs and longer arms and reach further than me and still have the same hip flexibility. The goniometer is not a very reliable tool to use as... middle of paper ...... such as kettle ball rows, incline bench pulls, and inverted rows. Once I strengthen my back, the endurance ratios will be balanced and I can then maintain it by doing a balanced workout. My VO2 Max is rated average and I can maintain it by continuing to eat healthily and lead an active lifestyle. To conclude, I am very happy with my physical condition and look forward to improving it as much as possible by maintaining a healthy diet and an active daily lifestyle. References: Marc Perry.
