What is the Sit Rise Test and how to do it properly
The Brazilian Longevity Study was first published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention in 2012. In essence it is a simple test that looking at a person's ability to get down onto the ground and back up again without using their hands. As you can imagine it requires good hip strength and flexibility.
The test is simple: All you have to do is go from standing to sitting (cross leg style) to standing again. You start with 10 points, and loose a point every time you loose balance and put a hand or knee down.
The study has some surprising results.
The researchers tested 2,002 adults 51 to 80 years old, and then followed them for 6 years or until a participant died. In that time, 159 people died. Those who had the lowest score of zero to three points had a risk of death that was five to six times higher than those who scored eight to 10 points. The conclusion is that people who couldn't do this simple move (sit rise test) had a greater chance of dying in the 6 years following then those who could do it.
