Part Two The goal of the experiment is to determine whether or not age affects flexibility in both genders of swimmers. Upper body and lower body flexibility is to be measured to determined the flexibility in females …show more content…
The female lower body flexibility decreased by 3.05 centimeters in the 6-11 age group and in the 12-18 age group, the average flexibility decreased by 0.23 centimeters. For male lower body flexibility, the average flexibility decreased by 4.06 cm in the 6-11 age group. While the flexibility had increased for the 12-18 year old males by 5.11 centimeters (Figure 2). The average 12-18 year old males are more flexible than the 3-5 year old males.
In upper body flexibility, the 3-5 and 12-18 year old boys were more flexible than the girls. However, the female’s average upper body increased as the ages rose (Figure 1). Although, the 6-11 year old females were more flexible than the 6-11 year old males. Between the female and male upper body flexibility, there is a 9.07 centimeters difference between the genders, the males being more flexible. In both upper and lower body trials for males, the 6-11 age group
