Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 30-Second Chair Stand Test measure?
Developed as part of the Rikli & Jones Senior Fitness Test, this protocol evaluates lower-body functional strength and endurance, which are key determinants of independent mobility in mid-life and beyond.
What are the proper form rules for the test?
Sit in a sturdy armless chair (~43 cm high) with arms folded across your chest. Stand fully erect and return to a complete sitting position as many times as possible within 30 seconds.
What score is considered healthy for adults 45 to 65?
For adults under 60, completing 17+ reps for men and 15+ reps for women indicates above-average quadriceps and glute strength.
