Our body composition affects it.

And the lead investigator, Dr.

Araho, described the test as as um capturing aspects of fitness.

That are not aerobic.

One simple test like this capturing all these aspects of fitness that are not aerobic.

So this is not a traditional like what's your cardiovascular aerobic strength or even what is your pure strength, but a an integrated combination of many of the others that sort of support our day to day.

And I think that's a useful way to look at it.

Walking and cycling and swimming and other aerobic activities are enormously important to our health, as we know.

But much of our daily life between the minutes um depends on qualities that are like harder to measure and sort of easier to overlook until they begin to fade or sure show up as a critical moment and a challenge.

So think about things like getting up and going and playing with a child and the child drops down to play, like let's play a game on the floor, and you say, Yes, I want to, and then the next question is, you know, can I get down to the floor?

Can I get back up?

How about getting down to retrieve something that you dropped?

Of course there are some really cool gadgets that can help us retrieve from standing.

And thank goodness those gadgets exist because this is a very real issue as we age to contend with.

But getting down to reach down to retrieve something and engaging those different body systems.

Think about gardening um and how it takes you to different levels and how your mobility and balance and coordination all come to play at the same time.

Or recovering from a stumble, something we all do.

A little trip here, you catch your shoe, you catch the rug, you don't see the little edge of a step.

And then of course getting up after a fall.

My grandmother, so I told you about my pop, my grandmother actually could still get down onto the floor well into her seventies, and I think pretty close to her eighties as well.
