'There is a theory that people who can get off the floor and back down to the floor, using the fewest number of limbs, will live longer than those who can\'t. So, let\'s take a look at how we can use this test to inform what areas of mobility, flexibility, balance and strength we need to work on.   I wrote about this test in this post at: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/exercise/the-best-ways-to-measure-your-fitness-part-two?page=1  To perform this test, just simply sit down on the floor and then get up. The catch? You must use as little assistance from your hands, knees, or other body parts as possible.  For each body part that gets involved in the process, you lose one point from a possible score of 10. If you put one hand on the floor for support to sit down, then use a knee and a hand to help you get up, you get docked three points for a score of 7.  For each unit increase in SRT score, participants gained a 21 percent improvement in survival. Specifically:  Those who scored 0-3 were 6.5 times more likely to die during the 6-year-long study than those who scored 8-10  Those who scored 3.5 to 5.5 were 3.8 times more likely to die  Those who scored 6 to 7.5 were 1.8 times more likely to die'
