Why is the SFT usable in field settings?

The Senior Fitness Test is designed with practicality in mind, which makes it highly usable in field settings. The correct reason for this is that the test requires minimal equipment and space requirements. This simplicity allows the test to be conducted in various locations, such as community centers, parks, or even at home, without the need for specialized facilities or extensive resources.

The equipment typically includes items that are easy to transport and set up, such as a chair for seated activities and a stopwatch for timing, making it accessible for a wide range of environments. This flexibility enables healthcare providers and fitness professionals to assess senior fitness levels conveniently and effectively, promoting better health outcomes without being constrained by location or equipment limitations.
