Abstract
Background: Body mass index (BMI) is the ratio of height to weight. The World Health Organization used BMI as a screening criterion for overweight and obesity. A five-times-sit-to-stand test (FTSTS) is one of the most widely used tests for assessment of balance ability and lower limb muscle strength. It has been reported that an increased BMI affected the ability to control static balance, weight transfer tasks, and lower extremity muscle strength. However, there is a limited evidence of FTSTS performance in adults with difference of BMI.
Objective: To compare the time to perform the FTSTS test in adults with normal weight, overweight, and obesity.
Methods: Fifty four male and female volunteers with aged between 18-40 years were divided into 3 groups using BMI including: 1) normal weight group (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2; n = 18), 2) overweight group (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2; n = 18) and 3) obesity group (BMI ³ 30 kg/m2; n = 18). They were requested to perform five sit-to-stand repetitions as rapidly as possible and time of FTSTS were recorded.
Results: The obesity group showed a significantly longer time to perform FTSTS test (11.00±0.38 seconds) as compared with the overweight (9.97±0.32 seconds) and the normal weight groups (9.80±0.32 seconds) (p < 0.05). Whereas, no significant difference in FTSTS performance between the overweight and the normal weight groups was seen (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Adults with normal weight and overweight performed the same ability on FTSTS and both groups performed better than the adults with obesity.
