Estimating lower-limb muscle power during sit-to-stand (STS) tests is feasible for large-scale implementation. This study investigated 1) whether age, functional limitations and sex have an influence on the movement strategy and power production during STS; and 2) potential differences between STS power estimated with either a simple equation or a sensor. Five-repetition STS data of 649 subjects (♂352 ♀297) aged 19 to 93 years were included. Subjects were divided in different age groups and levels of functioning. A body-fixed sensor measured (sub)durations, trunk movement (flexion/extension) and STS muscle power (Psensor). Additionally, mean STS muscle power was calculated by a mathematic equation (Alcazar et al., 2018b)Pformula.Results revealed that 1) older subjects and women showed greater trunk flexion before standing up than younger subjects and men, respectively (both p |
