Background:

The 1-minute sit-to-stand (STS) test is a widely used functional assessment.
Establishing normative data is crucial for accurate interpretation of test results in diverse populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine reference values for the 1-minute sit-to-stand (STS) test in a large adult population.
To provide benchmarks for assessing lower body muscular strength and endurance.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted within a Swiss health promotion campaign.
6,926 adults completed the 1-minute STS test and provided demographic and health behavior data.

Main Results:

Median STS repetitions varied significantly by age and sex, decreasing with age.
Young adults (20-24 years) achieved higher repetitions (men: 50/min, women: 47/min) compared to older adults (75-79 years) (men: 30/min, women: 27/min).

Conclusions:

The established reference values facilitate the interpretation of 1-minute STS test performance.
These norms help identify individuals with reduced lower body muscular strength and endurance.
