ABSTRACT

Physical fitness is the realization of a muscular work satisfactorily; flexibility is basic motor capacity that should be included in the tests of physical fitness. It was studied after the polio epidemic and the I War World. The flexibility is the range of motion at a single joint or a series joints. Factors that affect it: physical activity, age, sex, temperature, longitude of members and ischaemia. The test should have scientific approaches of validity, objectivity and dependability; they are also direct and indirect and, to instrument and not instrument. The Index of General Flexibility (IFG) measures the flexibility and corporal surface, it is applied in sportsmen student, high performance and professionals. The objective was to analyze its validity. One hundred forty one athletes were evaluated, applying the tests of flexibility and determining the IFG. There wasn’t found relationship among tests of flexibility with corporal surface because it is not factor that affects it. An index, mathematically, is not a multiplication and is not related the name with the IFG. The multiplication (m1) (m2) = m3 that is unit of volume and it is the unit of the IFG.
It is considered to avoid the IFG, but not excluding tests of flexibility.
