| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the comparison of two protocols for the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test, highlighting their impact on physical performance assessment and diagnosis of sarcopenia. It discusses the differences between the "fifth stand" and "fifth sit" approaches in measuring the test, revealing a discrepancy of about one second between the two methods and outlines the need for distinct cutoff values for each approach while affirming their suitability for evaluating physical performance. |
