What's inside
- Aerobic fitness (VO2 max). In a large study of adults who took a treadmill test, higher cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with lower long-term mortality (Mandsager et al., 2018).
- Grip strength. In a large international study, lower grip strength was associated with a higher risk of death from any cause (Leong et al., 2015).
- The sitting-rising test. In a study of middle-aged and older adults, a lower score getting down to and up from the floor was associated with a higher risk of death during follow-up (Brito et al., 2014).
The book explains each test in plain language and ends with a short daily routine for working on all three. These are findings about groups of people, not a prediction for you.
