The position of greatest flexion must be held for roughly two seconds. The test has rehashed twice for Flexibility. The collected data were statistically analyzed by t-ratio, one ways analysis of variance test was applied and the level of significance for the study was 0.05 level. The collected data were statistically analysed by            t-ratio, one-way analysis of variance test was applied. The level of significance for the study used was 0.05 level.
