The extensibility of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles was studied in 822 healthy men. The average angle of buttock elevation phenomen (BEP) was 124.0 .+-. 16.71.degree. on the right leg and 122.2 .+-. 19.75.degree. on the left leg. Contracture of the quadriceps (BEP .ltoreq. 100.degree.) was found in 16.1% of the men. The average angle of the straight leg raising test (SLR) was 79.3 .+-. 9.56.degree. on the right leg and 79.9 .+-. 9.56.degree. on the left leg. Contracture of the hamstrings (SLR < 70.degree.) was found in 10.3% of the men.
