Squat Test Calculator
The bodyweight squat test is a simple, no-equipment benchmark of leg endurance used in fitness assessments and home workouts. Enter how many squats you can do in one minute and this calculator rates you against general adult standards. Use it to test leg endurance, track progress, and set your next rep target.
The 1-minute squat test gauges lower-body muscular endurance in the quads, glutes and hamstrings. Stand feet shoulder-width apart and squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then stand fully, for 60 seconds at a steady controlled pace. As a rough adult guide, fewer than 20 is poor, 30–39 is average, and more than 50 is excellent. Norms vary with age and sex, so track your own trend.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the squat test measure?
- The squat test measures lower-body muscular endurance in the quads, glutes and hamstrings. You enter how many bodyweight squats you can complete in one minute, and the tool rates that count against age- and sex-based fitness benchmarks.
- How do I perform the one-minute squat test?
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower until your thighs are about parallel to the floor, then stand fully for each rep. Count controlled, full-depth squats completed in 60 seconds, pacing to last the minute, then enter the total.
- How many squats in a minute is good?
- Norms vary by age and sex, but for many adults completing roughly 30 to 40 bodyweight squats per minute is an average to good result. Higher counts indicate strong leg endurance; compare against your own age group for context.
