The 16 relevant articles described application of the test in diverse groups of adults. Evidence was summarized regarding the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the test. Normative values are available.Bohannon, Richard W.Crouch, Rebecca...
To understand how to achieve this, factors related to daily physical function such as five-time sit-to-stand (STS) time should be explored. This study aimed to investigate the associations between STS time, self-rated physical activity, physical function, health-related quality of life, physical...
d/c, Discharge; ax, assessment; and STS, sit to stand We compared 30 s STS scores for the age range of our cohort against the physical independence thresholds for older adults 60–64 years (females: 15 repetitions, males: 17) and normative values for those 60–69 years (females...
Antonio García‑Hermoso1,3, Leidy T. Ordoñez‑Mora4, Carlos Cano‑Gutierrez5, Florelba Campo‑Lucumí6 & Miguel Ángel Pérez‑Sousa7,8 Recently, a valid method to assess lower-body muscle power based on a sit-to-stand field test (STS) has been published....
Using this mechanism, some kinds of STS tests have been developed as a field test to evaluate the lower leg strength conveniently [30–32] and have been widely utilized [33]. From the results of STS tests [31, 34, 35] and the time ratio between the sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit ...

advantages:The sit and reach test is a common test of flexibility, and is an easy and quick test to perform. If using the standard testing procedure, there is a lot of published data to use for comparison. disadvantages:Variations in arm, leg and trunk length can make comparisons between ...
A validated, standardized, and feasible test to assess muscle power in older adults has recently been reported: the sit-to-stand (STS) muscle power test. This investigation aimed to assess the relationship between relative STS power and age and to provide normative data, cut-off points, and ...
Poor performances on FTSST have been associated with an increased risk for recurrent falls [15], slow gait speed [16] and reduced ability to perform ADLs [17]. Past research has produced normative values and predictive and concurrent validity data and test reliability for patients with ...
The aim of this study was to examine the sit up test to exhaustion as a field test for muscular endurance evaluation in a sample of sedentary people of both sexes. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed. Three-hundred-eighty-one participants volunteered for the study (28.5 ± 10.0 yea...
