Practising everyday movements such as getting up from a chair, sitting down on the floor, and standing back up helps strengthen muscles and improve flexibility, balance, and control. This supports independence and reduces the risk of falls as people age. A 2025 study of more than 4,000 people aged 46 to 75 found that scoring 4 points or fewer on the sit-to-stand test was associated with a fourfold higher risk of death from any natural cause and an almost sixfold higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease, compared with a perfect score, over an average follow-up of 12.3 years. The article recommends practising gradually and safely: start by standing up from a sturdy chair, using it for support if needed, then practise moving from the floor to standing. Consult a doctor or physical therapist before beginning.
