        Was that the jumping test? I do think I recall that, along with pullup and pushup tests. It’s such a rigid definition of fitness. By the way do you remember when Michelle Obama wanted kids to be fit? Parents threw a fit their child no longer had access to tater tots lol. This is just wankery.

          They’re talking about the one where you put your feet flat on the end of the far side of the box, then you stretch forward as far as you can to see how far you can touch.

      As a kid who didn’t care for sports, the flexibility test functioned as something in gym class I was actually good at. I did appreciate that about it.
