Darnell Cox Instagram – Is the Sit to Rise Test Really a Predictor of Longevity? 🤔
👉It has been used as a predictor of longevity.
👉It tests balance, strength, and mobility.
.
How to do the Sit to Rise Test:👇
1️⃣Begin by standing.🧍♀️
You start with a score of 10 points.
2️⃣Sit down without using your hands or body parts for assistance.
3️⃣Once seated, stand back up without using anything to help you.
4️⃣Subtract 1 point if you used your hand, forearm, knee, or leg for help.😅
5️⃣If you can Sit and Stand without any assistance you score a perfect 10.🥳
📖A 2012 study shows that the Sit to Rise Test was a predictor of mortality within six years. 😵
What does it really mean?😳
IT MEANS JACK 💩!✌🏼
The study was FLAWED!🥴
👉There are many reasons why people wouldn’t be able to do this and still be perfectly healthy.🤷♀️
👉While the Sit to Rise test is fun to do, and balance, strength, and mobility are very important for Healthy Aging, this test DOESN’T predict whether I will die in six years.👌🏼
👉If you can’t do the Sit to Rise Test with assistance, maybe you’ll be better at it next week, the week after, or even a year from now.🙃
👉You may never be able to do it, but that is okay!🥺
The question you need to ask yourself is👇
❓What are you doing RIGHT NOW to move your body and continue to push yourself to the best of your ability in the name of your health?🤔
