They stated that ho you can also try it in the comfort of your own home, and you don’t need any tools except your own body. , the results revealed that people who do not meet it are much more likely to die earlier.
A group of scientists from the University of Gama Filho in Brazil conducted research to find out how our musculoskeletal condition is related to mortality. They wanted to to find out whether those who are slightly more flexible than their peers live to a higher age. The reason is that before this , there was not much information on the subject.
That’s why found 2,002 willing subjects between the ages of 51 and 80 who participated in a simple experiment. Scientists they pointed out that you can try the test from the comfort of your home and it only takes a few seconds.

The researchers tracked people’s mobility
A test that was aptly named Sadni si a postav sarefers to the activity hidden in the name itself. Scientists have noted that you with it, you just need to sit down and stand up again without holding on to anything or leaning on anything. In this way, your mobility is measured, i.e. the mobility of your limbs and body.
Scientists of all participants they asked to take off their clothes and put on loose clothes. Later, they were instructed to sit on the floor without supporting themselves with their hands, knees, elbows, or sides of their legs. Subsequently, the researchers asked them to stand on their feet again without any support, while each of them received a maximum of 10 points for their efforts at the climb. If any of the participants caught something that was supporting him or slightly lost his balance, his points were taken off.
The results were astounding.

Results of the study surprised even the researchers themselves. It turned out that the participants who had problems performing this simple test and received a score of zero to three, were 5.4 times more likely to die prematurely compared to those for whom the experiment was a toy. The researchers therefore came to the conclusion that muscle and skeletal fitness is a great indicator of a person’s health and longevitywhile loss of mobility and flexibility can negatively affect these parameters.
