While the participant laid supine on a firm surface, the axis of the goniometer was aligned with the axis
of the hip joint. The tester placed the stationary arm in line with the femur. With the knee held straight, the
participant’s leg was moved passively into hip flexion until tightness was felt by both the participant and the
tester. The score was the maximum angle (degree) obtained at the point of maximum hip flexion. The hamstring
flexibility score was determined as the average of the two measurements on each leg. Scores were recorded to
the nearest degree for each leg.
