Abstract

Physical fitness is the ability to perform moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity without undue fatigue and the capability of maintaining such ability throughout life. The investigator attempted to construct Norms for flexibility of 13, 14 and 15 years old adolescent boys of Jammu region. To achieve the said purpose, 1575 (525 from each age group) adolescent boys were selected randomly from various schools of Jammu region. Flexibility was selected as criterion variable and was measured by V- Sit and Reach test. Mean and standard deviation were computed by using SPSS. The calculated mean and standard deviation was used to find out the Hull scale. The results shows that 14 years old adolescent boys were better in flexibility compared with 13 and 15 years old adolescent boys.
