Interesting. I'm 63, and recently finished well into the top half of a major, 55km (33 mile) cross country ski race, and I can't do this!

[@randystebbins5733]

I'm with you. I am a very fit, 70 year old runner. I also work on general strength and agility. I can't come close to doing the stand test. I am naturally very inflexible, which comes from genetics. There are things I can do to increase flexibility, but I don't think I could have done this test even when much younger.

[@jesuscamacho922]

​@@randystebbins5733is not about genetics, it's about practice. No one in my family is flexible and I've improved my flexibility over the years.

[@marielaclericorhodes3030]

@@randystebbins5733 to you and JimGraham: do not give up. These exercises sometimes requires more wit than strengh or flexibility. I used to exercise in aerial silks: I learned that it is not all a question of arm strengh but of coordination of all the body. It's interesting to note the position of the legs and lean forwards a little bit to get some impulse.

True!!!

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

This is more about coordination and flexibility than muscular and bone strength. As someone who loves doing weighted squats, going down in a controlled movement was no problem for me. But getting up, when I first was introduced to this test, I found myself being confused about how to use my body, and coordinate my muscles to get up without using an arm or knee for support. I think it's hyperbolic to say that this is a predictor of age, given that people with perfectly good muscular and skeletal strength as well as coordination can still fail at this, especially the getting up part.

[@yeseniarobles4289]

I think it’s more about testing the cerebellum since it’s the one in charge of coordination of movement and balance. When it’s weak the body, along with your cerebrum, has to think and plan how to move, whereas the cerebellum is instant action because it knows it’s possible. Once the cerebellum loses strength ataxia comes into play.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

@@bonbonbonfire Unless you've actually read about the test beyond a cursory glance at Wikipedia, you may have failed to understand that the extent to which a test result can be generalized depends very much on the conditions under which the test was made, and what it was made to measure. The test was originally aimed at the elderly or older individuals (which is why the original research sample consisted of individuals above 50). Do you know why? Because a low score indicate individuals with potentially compromised mobility, muscular strength and balance. Those things are of particular concern to *_older individuals_* because it determines the extent to which they will require assistance or physical aid, in performing daily tasks, without which, they would be at significant risk of injuring themselves through falling because of loss of balance. That is where the risk factor lies. Contrast that context, to how the test has often been talked about in public discourse and the media, where the test is then used as some kind of *general predictor* for even those outside of the parameters of the original test subject. This test, when applied to younger individuals, is a questionable predictor of age or longevity because inability to perform the test may be due to coordination rather than actual muscular weakness or motor function. We've seen plenty of examples of young individuals failing the test. But no scientist worth their degree will tell you that if you, as someone that is younger (than the original test subjects at least)fail the test, that it means you're more likely to die than those who passed it. You know why? Because for younger, healthier individuals, the mortality risk that is associated with falling is less than those of the elderly. Younger individuals tend to be more robust, recover better from injuries, and the injuries themselves are less likely to cause permanent or fatal damage. Another interesting thing to note was that there has been different versions of the sit and rise test over the years. One of them included a much easier version where you sit and rise from a chair as opposed to sitting and rising from the floor. This test, according to certain scientists, tend to be more efficient in actually predicting muscular strength and balance because it takes away the more complicated coordination necessary to perform the sitting and rising from the floor, and if an elderly is unable to do even this simple sitting and rising from a chair, it is indicative of serious muscular and balance problems. Again though, risk factor will tend to be higher for the elderly than for younger individuals. Context matters. The way the test results have been generalized to be "applied" beyond its original context or intention is what I was referring to as someone that is very familiar with research methodology in general.

Most people think "working out" is just going to gym and use machines. No flexibility, no balance, no coordination, no natural movement

[@scottie89901]

Working out all the time does not equate to having good mobility skills. On the extreme end, bodybuilders tend to have shorter lifespans which is thought to be due to increased stress on their heart and injury risk. Mobility and functional strength both degrade with age, and developing these when young will help with maintaining the ability to live independently when old.

[@johnw3952]

This sitting-rising test is, in my opinion, not really a great method for a one size fits all test for longevity. People with a history of knee problems will have a hard time with this exercise. Realistically, someone under 35 should be able to do the exercise if they are even in moderately good shape. People over 60, on the other hand, will have a much harder time performing the full squat from a legs-crossed position due to loss of muscle mass and changes in mobility/range of motion in their joints. Being able to rise from a low stool or perform a full squat, for someone over sixty, is much more doable for a senior, and therefore, a much better indicator. I would not recommend that seniors try this maneuver because it could, possibly, cause a knee injury. On the other hand, if you are under 35 and can't perform this exercise, it could well be an indicator of poor health/longevity risks, especially things like being overweight and lack of exercise which could lead to muscle loss. Moderate exercise as we age is extremely important to maintain function in our muscles and joints.

LoL you almost had it and failed at the end 🤦🤦🤦 anyone who's ever been in the military or a serious athlete no matter how well you've taken care of yourself, they all have knee issues doesn't matter if you exercise regularly or not certain things do not last you have to look at career/ life style from teen to adult im a physical therapist and sports rehab doctor im sorry to burst your bubble but no test can measure someone's grit you would not believe the amount of professional players who do not get surgery and tough out things other people can't even imagine

Flexibility and agility are tested here. Those who do poorly are more likely than others to injure themselves in a fall. Many elderly people die from falls and other accidents. It's not the injury directly, but the blood clots and other things that are triggered by the injury. Also, if you are old and have thin bones, you will have more damage from the fall than a younger person would. It's not a test of cardio risk or cancer risk -- nothing like that. But it is a good test of the risk of injury and death due to injury as people age.
