Determine the percent change between the initial baseline and treatment periods
Option 4 – Flexibility
Label the y-axis in centimeters and in increments of 0.5cm
Label the x-axis in days.
This activity is designed to determine if flexibility increases with stretching
Procedure
While sitting on the floor with your legs extended and toes pointing straight up (dorsiflexion), try to touch your toes with outstretched fingers. Have someone measure the distance between your fingers and your toes. Record the distance reached in front of your toes as a negative number and the distance reached beyond your toes a positive number.
Repeat this procedure each day for 28 days
Days 1-7–Establish your baseline flexibility
Days 8-21—Intervention is prior to measurement, stretch for 10 minutes. DO NOT Bounce or bend your knees, but bend from waist. After 10 minutes of full stretching, now take your flexibility measurement
Your intervention stretching for 10 minutes.
Days 22-28—NO more stretching prior to measurement, but continue to measure the flexibility
