Standing Reach Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the standing reach.
SR = H + AR
Variables:
- SR is the standing reach (inches)
- H is the height of the individual (inches)
- AR is the arm reach of the individual (inches)
To calculate the standing reach, add the height of the individual to the arm reach of the individual.
What is a Standing Reach?
A standing reach is a measurement used primarily in sports to determine an athlete’s ability to reach up without jumping. It is calculated by having the athlete stand flat-footed, reaching up with one arm, and measuring the highest point they can touch. This measurement is often used in sports like basketball and volleyball to assess a player’s potential for blocking or spiking the ball.
How to Calculate Standing Reach?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Standing Reach using the formula: SR = H + AR.
- First, determine the height of the individual (H) in inches.
- Next, determine the arm reach of the individual (AR) in inches.
- Next, use the formula SR = H + AR to calculate the standing reach (SR).
- Finally, calculate the Standing Reach.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Height (H) = 65 inches
Arm Reach (AR) = 70 inches
