Sitting Rising Test
The exercise was developed in the 1990s by Brazilian sports physician Claudio Gil Soares de Araújo and his wife Denise, a sports scientist, to test the mobility of athletes.
A study later revealed that the test can apparently give an indication of the expected life expectancy of 50-80-year-olds.
You can use the exercise to test and train your flexibility, strength and coordination.
