8-Foot Up-and-Go: Females, Age 90-94

The 8-foot up-and-go test measures agility and dynamic balance. Specifically, it records the time it takes to stand from a chair, walk 8 feet (2.44 m), turn around, and sit back down. It is part of the Senior Fitness Test battery (Rikli & Jones 1999, n=7,183 US community-dwelling adults aged 60-94). Percentile curves (P5-P95) are from the Senior Fitness Test Manual, 2nd edition (2013), modelled from the same sample. Lower times indicate better performance.

What these numbers mean for females aged 90-94

A score around 9.4 seconds is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group. Times below about 11.5 seconds fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 7.3 seconds fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population ran faster.

Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
