How Long Will You Live? Sitting-Rising Test Challenge! | Dr K & Dr Wil

The Sitting-Rising Test (SRT) was developed by Dr Claudio Araugo. “In a study published in the European Journal of Cardiology, Araujo had more than 2,000 patients ages 51 to 80, all part of an exercise program at Clinimex Exercise Medicine Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, take the SRT. People who scored fewer than eight points on the test, he found, were twice as likely to die within the next six years compared with those who scored higher; those who scored three or fewer points were more than five times as likely to die within the same period compared with those who scored more than eight points.

Overall, each point increase in the SRT score was associated with a 21 percent decrease in mortality from all causes. Araujo hopes such information can help get more older people walking through the doors of a gym rather than rolling into an emergency room.” So, perform this CHALLENGE/TEST to find out YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY to see if you need to work on your flexibility, balance, and strength.
