Sit-to-stand test
Sit-to-stand test has been studied in 5 papers since 2021: 5 observational studies in people; 1 in the past year. The newest paper, Jul 2, 2026: “Sit-to-stand power shows greater magnitude associations with radial bone strength compared to handgrip strength in adults aged 60-95 years: A cross-sectional study”.

What is Sit-to-stand test linked with?
2Studies link Sit-to-stand test with 2 measures, most often radial bone strength (1 study) and maximal power output (1).
Radial bone strength

Radial bone strength
upin humans1
Sit-to-stand test is associated with radial bone strength in humans (r = 0.42-0.83, p < 0.001).
“Both STSp and CGS were moderately to strongly correlated with radial parameters (r = 0.42-0.83; p < 0.001).”

Sit-to-stand test is associated with maximal power output in humans (r = 0.314).
