I posted this video (or see below) after I came across one of my favorite articles. This study by de Britto et. al. looked at people (51–80 yo) who could perform this movement (sitting rising test)

They found those who could complete this movement tended to live longer compared to those who could not! In the video below, I’m keeping my arms extended so that I do not use my hands to push off of my knees. This same study was also covered in a local news segment which does a nice job breaking down the movement and the scoring.
