Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to determine in which of the listed fitness tests the score is recorded to the nearest centimetre based on the distance between the initial and final positions.

Correct Answer: (C) Sit and reach test

Explanation:

• The sit and reach test is a common flexibility test that measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles.
• The participant sits on the floor with legs straight, feet placed flat against a box or sit-and-reach apparatus, and reaches forward as far as possible with both hands.
• The score is the distance reached by the fingertips, measured from the starting point (initial position) to the farthest point reached (final position).
• This distance is recorded to the nearest centimetre.

Final Answer:
(C) Sit and reach test
