Polar BodyAge System SW Help
The BodyAge System provides the unique On-Line Modified Sit & Reach testing unit. The handle
is attached to a measuring gauge that will record the distance moved and will be automatically
saved by the computer.
The tester can choose to record the results of the sit & reach manually (where the tester manually
measures the modified sit & reach and then enters the results into the text field on the main
screen) or on-line (which means the sit & reach results are read directly into the computer).
Before starting this test, be sure the individual has had a proper warm-up and stretched prior to
the first trial.
NOTE: Have the client pull and release the cable slowly. Fast motion can damage the measuring
gauge.
