Exercise Right health check
You've tested your strength and balance, see what your results mean.
Your health scorecard gave you a snapshot of four key measures:Â Â
Â
- Strength: a predictor of vitality and longevity. Â
- Sit-to-stand: a measure of lower body strength and mobility. Â
- Balance: critical for stability, confidence, and fall prevention. Â
- Blood pressure: an indicator of cardiovascular health.Â
Why these results matter
