30-Second Chair Stand: Females, Age 65-69

The 30-second chair stand test measures lower-body strength and endurance, the number of times a person can rise from a seated position in 30 seconds. 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. Note: this data is based on a US sample. A German study (Albrecht et al. 2021, n=1,657, ages 65-75) found lower scores in comparable age groups, partly attributed to higher body weight.
