The Sit-to-Rise Test (SRT) is a functional test we use in the clinic to measure overall longevity.
We get a really good snapshot of overall strength, balance, & flexibility.
Instructions:
From standing, try to sit down on the floor and stand back up using as little support/points of contact as possible.
5 points for lowering
5 points for standing
10 points total.
-1 point for each time you use a hand, knee, forearm, or side of your leg to sit or get up.
- 0.5 point if you lose your balance.
A score BELOW 8/10 indicates higher risk of health issues.
0-4 was shown that those participants were 5x more likely to die within 6 years of natural causes.
If you scored low, this isn’t a death sentence. Use it as a wake up call.
The body is SO resilient and WILL adapt to the stressed we impose on it.
AKA, the more you practice this, the better and healthier you will get.
