It is important to assess the fitness of senior citizens for understanding the physical attributes needed for mobility task in later years. We can also target for individualized programming. The senior citizen fitness tests the daily movement as a bending, lifting, reaching and walking. Most of the older adults are at risk of mobility problems and falls. Early identification of physical decline can help to prevent functional impairments.
