Chair Stand Test Calculator

The 30-second chair stand test (sit-to-stand) is a standard functional fitness assessment for lower-body strength, balance and fall risk. Enter how many full stands you can do in 30 seconds and this calculator rates you against general adult standards. Use it to test functional leg strength with no equipment, track progress, and monitor mobility over time.

The 30-second chair stand test measures functional lower-body strength and endurance, widely used to screen fall risk and leg fitness in adults and seniors. Sit on a standard chair, arms crossed over the chest, and stand up fully then sit back down as many times as you can in 30 seconds. As a rough adult guide, fewer than 8 is poor, 12–15 is average, and 20 or more is excellent — true norms drop with age, so compare against your age band and track your own trend.
