Scientists made a special chair with sensors that can count how many times a person stands up and sits down, and how fast they do it, without needing any gadgets on the body.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

Doing the 30-second chair stand test—standing up and sitting down as many times as you can in half a minute—can accurately show how strong your legs are and how well they work as you get older.
When you stand up from a smart chair that measures your weight over time, it can figure out how fast your weight shifts—and that speed might tell us how strong your legs are.
If a smart chair measures how much weight each leg carries when someone stands up, it might spot if one side is weaker — a clue about past or future muscle and joint problems.
This smart chair can count how many times you stand up and sit down using sensors in its legs — no wearables or cameras needed.
A smart chair that counts how many times you stand up and sit down in 30 seconds gives almost the same number as when a doctor counts it by hand — the difference is less than one rep on average.
