The body mass index is a crucial indicator for predicting disease. Flexibility is a crucial physical characteristic that affects an athlete's performance and risk of muscle damage. The hamstrings' lack of flexibility is linked to low back pain, patellofemoral pain, and muscular strains. Therefore, it is crucial to research the connections between BMI, hamstring flexibility, and low back flexibility. The two most often employed tests for determining hamstring tightness are the active knee extension test (AKET) and the straight leg raise test (SLR). Additionally, they exhibit great intra- and inter-rater reliability. According to a study, the average hamstring stiffness for the right and left sides utilising the active knee extension test was 36.611.550 and 31.412.480, respectively. Using the Sit and Reach test, the hamstring and low back flexibility were found to be 21.9 7.6 cm, which was inadequate. But there was no statistically significant relationship between flexibility and BMI. Nearly 90% of the participants fell into the poor-fair flexibility category, which was common across all BMI ranges. One of the factors contributing to lower flexibility was the fact that 61 percent of the young individuals in the study were found to be sedentary.
