Sit-to-Stand

1. Sit-to-Stand has no effect on thigh muscle volume in humans (r=−0.38, p=0.1174).

   “No significant association was observed between STS and TMV (r=−0.38; p=0.1174).”

1. Sit-to-Stand is associated with appendicular lean mass in humans (r=−0.54, p=0.0209).

   “A better score on the STS was associated with lower ALM (r=−0.54; p=0.0209).”

1. Sit-to-Stand predicts motivation for physical activity in humans (p = 0.054).

   “We found both measures of physical function (TUG and STS) predicted motivation for PA (pTUG < 0.001, pSTS = 0.054).”
