| Abstract: | In this study we compared the flexibility of 10 power lifters with 10 age-matched nonpower lifters as controls. To do this, we used goniometric measurements, the behind the back reach test, and the sit and reach test. The sit and reach test was the only measurement that showed the flexibility of the power lifters to be greater than that of the nonpower lifters. |
