NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar was on the &#8220;Today&#8221; show on March 8 and demonstrated how to perform the simple \u201csit to stand test\u201d (aka sit-rising test or SRT) that can help determine the longevity of someone between 51 to 80.<\/p><p>The test is pretty simple. Go from standing to sitting cross-legged, and then go back to standing without using any parts of your body besides your legs and core to help you get up and down. The test measures multiple longevity factors, including heart health, balance, agility, core and leg strength and flexibility.<\/p><p><br \/><\/p><p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube\">        \t\t<div class=\"embed-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-has-aspect-ratio \"> \n\t\t\t\t<div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/BRWfYnhunUI\/hqdefault.jpg)\" class=\"rkv-video-placeholder \" data-provider=\"youtube\" data-video-id=\"BRWfYnhunUI\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button aria-label=\"Play video\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"17\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 17 20\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M16.5 9.75047C16.5006 10.0051 16.4353 10.2556 16.3105 10.4775C16.1856 10.6995 16.0055 10.8853 15.7875 11.017L2.28 19.2802C2.05227 19.4196 1.79144 19.4957 1.52445 19.5007C1.25746 19.5056 0.993989 19.4392 0.76125 19.3083C0.530728 19.1794 0.338696 18.9914 0.204904 18.7637C0.0711107 18.536 0.000385179 18.2768 0 18.0127V1.48828C0.000385179 1.22417 0.0711107 0.964934 0.204904 0.737222C0.338696 0.509511 0.530728 0.321545 0.76125 0.192655C0.993989 0.0617322 1.25746 -0.00468706 1.52445 0.0002572C1.79144 0.00520146 2.05227 0.0813301 2.28 0.220781L15.7875 8.4839C16.0055 8.6156 16.1856 8.80145 16.3105 9.0234C16.4353 9.24534 16.5006 9.49582 16.5 9.75047Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t                        <\/p><p><strong><span><\/span>You begin the test with<a href=\"https:\/\/thetrainingroompt.com\/movement-challenge-1-sit-rising-test-and-how-to-improve\/\" target=\"_blank\"> a score of 10<\/a> and subtract points on your way up and down for doing the following:<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Hand used for support: -1 point<\/em><\/p><p><em>Knee used for support: -1 point<\/em><\/p><p><em>Forearm used for support: -1 point<\/em><\/p><p><em>One hand on knee or thigh: -1 point<\/em><\/p><p><em>Side of leg used for support: -1 point<\/em><\/p><p><em><br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Extremely Important Sitting Rising Test Predicts How Long You&#39;ll Live<br>Flexibility, balance and muscle strength are key indicators of longevity.<br>The SRT (sit-rising-test) is a simple, quick, accurate test to motivate you to regularly make it to the gym!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/faEovr5CL5\">https:\/\/t.co\/faEovr5CL5<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sKbHyzVd6a\">pic.twitter.com\/sKbHyzVd6a<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Don Crumlin (@Don_Crumlin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Don_Crumlin\/status\/1123471354236424192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 1, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n        <p><strong><em><\/em>A 2012 study published by the<a href=\"https:\/\/geriatrictoolkit.missouri.edu\/srff\/deBrito-Floor-Rise-Mortality-2012..pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> European Society of Cardiology<\/a> found a correlation between the SRT score and how long people live. <\/strong><\/p><p>The study was conducted on 2002 people, 68% of whom were men, who performed the SRT test and were followed by researchers in the coming years.

A score of eight or nine means you&#8217;re allowed to roll forward onto your knees and then rise, which a lot of people will find more comfortable.

But one of the study&#8217;s authors says that the study is a call to take our mobility seriously.<\/p><p>\u201cThe more active we are the better we can accommodate stressors, the more likely we are to handle something bad that happens down the road,\u201d Dr. Claudio Gil Araujo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2015\/02\/26\/sitting-rising-test-life-expectancy-fitness\/24076407\/\" target=\"_blank\">told USA Today.<\/a><\/p><p><strong>What should you do if you can&#8217;t manage a good score on the SRT?

Just using your own bodyweight is plenty to get started, though if you&#8217;re up for incorporating any added loads, the strength training will do wonders for your bone density, as well.<\/p><p>But remember that the SRT is just a measure of strength and mobility, which could correlate to an older person&#8217;s likelihood of suffering from a fatal fall. It doesn&#8217;t do anything to measure your cardiovascular help (vitally important especially in older people), for example. And it may not even be the most reliable longevity test out there. It has been criticized for it&#8217;s extremely unnatural range of motion, for starters \u2014 rising by pushing up on the sides of our ankles with our knees pointed outward is certainly not representative of a real-life situation. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/sit-to-stand-test\/\" target=\"_blank\">doctors<\/a> insist that your comfortable walking speed is a better indicator of health and longevity, while others say grip strength is the key measurement.<\/p><p><em>This article originally appeared two years ago.
