💨 Abstract

Standing on one leg for a short duration can reveal significant insights about your physical health and aging process. Researchers found that the ability to maintain a one-legged stance declines sharply after age 65, linking it to neuromuscular aging. The NHS and other health experts recommend specific durations based on age to assess balance and overall fitness. Poor performance in this test can indicate a higher risk of health issues and even mortality in older adults.
