Which demographic is the SFT primarily designed for?

The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) is specifically tailored for older adults, typically those aged 60 and over, to assess their physical fitness levels in a comprehensive and age-appropriate manner. This demographic faces unique challenges related to aging, such as decreased strength, balance, and flexibility. The test includes a variety of exercises designed to evaluate these aspects, enabling healthcare professionals to establish fitness baselines and track progress over time. By focusing on this age group, the SFT aims to promote physical activity and improve overall health and quality of life among older adults, addressing their specific needs and capabilities.
