Chair Rise Strength Screen
A chair rise strength screen counts thirty-second stand-ups from a chair—a simple leg-power benchmark for aging adults.
A chair rise strength screen counts how many times you stand from a standard chair without arms in thirty seconds—five times or fewer often flags weakness worth training. Arms crossed on chest keeps the test honest.
Improving reps tracks leg power for stairs and fall recovery. Pair results with sit-to-stand power work and progressive squats when cleared medically.
