Discuss why the Modified Sit-and-Reach Test is superior to the original Sit-and-Reach Test

What will be an ideal response?


The original Sit-and-Reach Test does not take length of arms and legs into consideration. All other factors being equal, an individual with longer arms or shorter legs, or both, receives a better rating because of the structural advantage. The Modified Sit-and-Reach Test takes length of arms and legs into consideration and reflects the true score.
