What age group is the Senior Fitness Test primarily designed for?

The Senior Fitness Test is primarily designed for older adults, particularly those aged 60 and above. This age group is targeted because as individuals age, they often experience changes in strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance, which can impact their overall health and ability to perform daily activities. The test provides valuable assessments for physical function that can help identify needs for improvement and guide interventions to enhance fitness and well-being in this population. By focusing on older adults, the test caters to the increasing importance of maintaining physical health in later years, allowing for tailored fitness programs that support active, independent living.
