Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sitting-Rising Test (SRT)?
Published by Dr Claudio Gil Araújo in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, the SRT assesses musculoskeletal fitness by grading a person's ability to sit on the floor and rise back up with minimal hand/knee support.
How is the SRT scored?
The test starts at 10 points (5 for sitting down, 5 for rising). Each use of a hand, knee, forearm, or side of the leg subtracts 1 point. Loss of balance subtracts 0.5 points.
Why is floor mobility so critical for older adults?
Maintaining the ability to get up from the floor independently ensures self-efficacy, prevents prolonged floor confinement after a fall, and preserves hip rotation mobility.
