A test of functional fitness defined as physical capacity to independently perform daily functional activities was developed for aged persons. The functional fitness test was composed of four physical capacity evaluation tasks representing physical abilities necessary to perform main activities of daily living; viz. sitting and standing up test, zig-zag walking test, hand working test with pegboard for dexterity evaluation, and rope working test for self-care evaluation. The reliability and feasibility of the test were examined with 765 aged persons living in the community. The distribution of measurement values in each item showed neither extreme skewness nor kurtosis. Retest reliabilities for each task were 0.857 to 0.942, but the second trial showed significantly reduced (p < 0.001) values than the first trial in test-retest. Significant relationships (r = 0.503 to 0.627) between measurement values in each items and chronological age were found in both male and female. Functional fitness test and physical fitness test scores were correlated 0.740. These results showed that the functional fitness test developed in the present study has a high reliability and feasibility to evaluate functional capacity of daily living in aged persons.
为老年人开发了一种功能性体能测试，其定义为独立进行日常功能活动的身体能力。功能性体能测试由四项身体能力评估任务组成，这些任务代表了进行日常生活主要活动所需的身体能力；即坐立测试、曲折行走测试、使用钉板进行手部灵活性评估的手工测试以及用于自我护理评估的绳索操作测试。对765名居住在社区的老年人进行了该测试的可靠性和可行性检验。每个项目测量值的分布既没有极端偏态也没有峰度。每项任务的重测信度为0.857至0.942，但在重测中第二次测试的值比第一次测试显著降低（p<0.001）。在男性和女性中，各项目测量值与实际年龄之间均存在显著关系（r = 0.503至0.627）。功能性体能测试和身体素质测试分数的相关性为0.740。这些结果表明，本研究中开发的功能性体能测试在评估老年人日常生活功能能力方面具有较高的可靠性和可行性。
