Amount of serial sitting and standing movements has been employed in clinical research settings to assess legs' muscular strength. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed test the correlation between 30-s sit-to-stand power (30STSp) outcome body balance older adults. We evaluated physically active male female (n = 51) individuals with an age range 60-80 years (M 69.29). Participants were assessed on maximum number repetitions for 30STSp performance tasks, as follows: quiet unipedal support, support while alternately touching two targets ground toe nonsupporting foot either anteroposterior (AP) or mediolateral (ML) direction, paced supported a narrow bipedal base. Performance tasks was measured through smartphone-based triaxial trunk accelerometry (meters per second squared), analysis made root mean square AP ML axes. Analysis indicated significant negative coefficients acceleration stance both (rs -.46) -.40) directions alternate target task -.34) -.31). These results suggest that adults, is associated dynamic tasks. Our findings indicate contribution control 30STSp.
