Flexibility: The range of motion possible at a joint.
Sit and Reach Test: Measures lower back and hamstring flexibility.
Zipper Test: Assesses shoulder joint and upper arm flexibility.

Muscular Endurance: The ability of muscle groups to perform repetitive movements for extended periods without fatigue.
Push-ups: A test of upper body strength.
Planks: An isometric strength training exercise for core muscles.
Sit-ups: A compound strength exercise for abdominal muscles.
