The 5-Time Sit-to-Stand Test, also known as the Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test or FTSST, measures how quickly a client can complete five sit-to-stand repetitions from a chair. A large 2025 pooled analysis using data from 45,470 adults aged 50 years and older across 14 European countries established up...

The Hamstring Bridge Endurance Test assesses posterior-chain endurance using a bridge position that increases hamstring demand. The single-leg hamstring bridge has more specific research support than the double-leg version. It has been studied for hamstring injury prediction in Australian Rules foot...

The Wall Sit Test is a simple lower-limb strength endurance assessment where the client holds a seated position against a wall for as long as possible. It is commonly used to monitor quadriceps endurance, lower-limb isometric tolerance and progress over time. Field-testing guidance commonly describe...

The 60-Second Sit-Up Test records how many valid sit-ups a client can complete in one minute. It is commonly used to assess abdominal and hip-flexor muscular endurance. Fitness testing resources describe 1-minute sit-up norms by age and sex, but protocol differences affect interpretation.  

Equipme...

The Side Plank Elevated With Leg Raises is an advanced endurance test combining side plank support with repeated or sustained top-leg movement. It challenges lateral trunk endurance, shoulder support, hip abductor endurance and pelvic control. Related side bridge research supports lateral trunk endu...

The Neck Lateral Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when bending the head and neck sideways against resistance. It is commonly used to assess cervical side-flexion force output in a controlled isometric setup.

Neck lateral flexion strength can provide useful context ...

1. The Neck Extension Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when pushing the head and neck backward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess cervical extensor force output in a controlled isometric setup.

   Neck extension strength can provide useful context for head and...

The Neck Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when bending the head and neck forward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess cervical flexor force output in a controlled isometric setup.

Neck flexion strength can provide useful context for head and neck stren...

The Prone Hip External Rotation Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when rotating the thigh outward against resistance while lying face down. In the prone position, the hip is usually near neutral and the knee is commonly flexed to approximately 90 degrees, allowing the lower ...

The Prone Hip Internal Rotation Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when rotating the thigh inward against resistance while lying face down. In the prone position, the hip is usually near neutral and the knee is commonly flexed to approximately 90 degrees, allowing the lower l...

The Ankle Toe Extension Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when lifting the toes upward against resistance. Depending on the setup, this may assess combined toe extension, lesser-toe extension or toe extension force across multiple toes in a controlled isometric position.

Th...

The Ankle Toe Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when pressing the toes downward against resistance. Depending on the setup, this may assess lesser-toe flexion, combined toe flexion or toe grip-style force output in a controlled isometric position.

This test can prov...
