This guide provides information on the Senior Fitness Test, a series of assessments designed to measure the functional fitness of older adults. Functional fitness is key to maintaining independence and quality of life as we age. The tests measure upper and lower body strength, aerobic endurance, and flexibility. You can perform these simple tests at home and then compare your scores to the average ranges for your age and gender to get an idea of your functional fitness level.
