Who might benefit from participating in the SFT besides individual seniors?

Participating in the Senior Fitness Test (SFT) offers valuable insights not just for individual seniors but also for caregivers and wellness programs. These stakeholders can use the data collected from the SFT to assess a senior's functional fitness level, which is crucial for developing tailored fitness plans and support strategies.

Caregivers can better understand the physical capabilities and limitations of the seniors they support, enabling them to provide more effective assistance with daily activities and overall well-being. Additionally, wellness programs can incorporate SFT results to design interventions that enhance physical activity and improve health outcomes for aging populations.

In contrast, while fitness trainers do play a role, they are a more focused subgroup, and the question asks about broader potential beneficiaries. Family members may also benefit indirectly through the improved fitness of their loved ones, but they do not receive the same structured support and insights that caregivers and wellness programs do. Community officials and city planners might benefit from understanding the needs of seniors, but they are less directly involved in the fitness and health of individual seniors compared to caregivers and wellness programs.
