Researchers created the SAFE protocol and its two simplified tests—five times sit-to-stand and maximal walking speed—to let anyone measure strength, power, and coordination against elite older athletes’ age-specific benchmarks.
Their findings reveal the humbling gap between average and elite performance, plus four practical training strategies—strength, power, step exercises, and competitive sports—to help you close it; discover the full story below.
