Old man confirmed.
Can you sit down on the floor and stand back up again without using your hands or getting on your knees for support? Your ability to do this simple-sounding but challenging movement reveals a surprising amount about your physical health and how long you’ll live, new research shows.
A June 2024 study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that adults ages 46 to 75 with the highest scores on the sitting-rising test were about six times less likely to die from heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions during the next decade, and four times less likely to die from any cause compared to those who struggled the most with the movement.

Yeah. I've had to learn due to pain. It's about balance and muscle coordination and muscle control.
It's weird cuz I have a harder time using my hands and arms getting off the floor ….I think it has to do with which muscles are weakened after the car accident. -

Congratulations! This "test" is supposed to be an indicator of your fitness/flexibility level and demonstrate what your safety would be like if you were to fall while you were by yourself and didn't have your phone on you to call 911 for an ambulance.
