How to take a Squat Test

Tips

After selecting a flexibility test, follow the instructions on the screen and adopt the following basic stance to start the test:

  • Stand upright in the center of the frame approximately 2 meters away from the camera with your feet shoulder width apart.

  • Do not rotate your feet inward or outward.

  • Ensure that your hips and shoulders are parallel to the screen (not rotated).

  • Both feet must be positioned at the same distance to the screen.

  • Your whole body must be upright.

The Fitness Hub will prompt you to make changes to this basic stance during the test. Simply follow the instructions on the screen. Any incorrect movements are automatically detected and the affected areas are labeled. The Fitness Hub will also explain on screen how to correct your movements.
