Integrated fitness older adult proto

Definition

A battery of tests for older adults completed with the assistance of an examiner. The examiner demonstrates how to do the test then the participant performs a few trial runs before the actual test. Some of the tests require minor equipment (e.g. dumbbell, yardstick). There are six primary tests and one alternate. A brief description of each test follows: the number of chair stands completed in 30 seconds, the number of curls (with light dumbbells) completed in 30 seconds, the distance walked in 6 minutes, the number of steps-in place in 2 minutes, the distance reached while sitting in a chair with legs straight and extended to the floor, the distance reached up the back with reaching arm at side and hand behind the back, the time it takes to get out of a chair walk around an obstacle 8 feet away then sit back in the chair. Test results should be recorded and then scored. See Protocol Text Section for each tests' specific instructions.
