One-leg sit-to-stand (one-leg STS) test is a new clinical developed to measure the unilateral lower limb (LE) muscle strength among young adults. This study examined test-retest reliability and criterion-concurrent validity of one-leg STS.Forty adults (mean age ± SD, 28.07 5.39 years) participated in study. The STS was administered two separate assessment sessions examine reliability. Two-leg performance time measured. concentric peak hip flexors/extensors, knee flexors/extensors ankle dorsi-flexors/plantar-flexors were determined using an isokinetic dynamometer. An intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) used test. criterion evaluated against two-leg independent sample t concurrent by investigating relationships between LE Pearson coefficients. analysis showed that had excellent (ICC3,1 = 0.960, P < .001). Also, not different first second sessions, (39) 0.672, .506. significantly greater than (t 20.63, correlated with all muscles (P .05).The demonstrated strength. simple administer could be beneficial for settings.
