Answer 2

Senior Citizen Fitness Test is also known as Fullerton Functional Test of senior citizens.

• It is a fitness test for senior citizens which was developed by Roberta E. Rikli and Jessie Jones of the University of California in Fullerton.

• In this test, almost all of the variables concerning the fitness of an aged person can be analyzed. Variables such as body balance, speed, reaction time, flexibility, etc, can be monitored using this technique.

• The test only requires lesser tools when compared to other fitness tests and it can be used to check the fitness of cardiac patients also.

• Chair Stand test, Arm Curl test, Chair Sit and Reach test, Back Scratch test, 8-Foot up and Go test and Step in Place test are the various test used here to assess the fitness of senior people.
