A new CLINIMEX study is being published in Mayo Clin Proc (April 30, 2025). Data from 3,899 middle-aged and older men and women indicates that muscle power outperforms strength in predicting mortality. @MayoProceedings https://t.co/fETF7pmLuS
CLINIMEX: Exercise Medicine Assessment - health check & aerobic/non-aerobic fitness testing - much more than an exercise ECG & VO2 max test.

I have initially proposed the Flexitest in late 70's as an assessment tool used for evaluating the body flexibility. It visually assess passive range of motion - 20 movements (scoring 0 to 4). Try to watch this 2-min video https://t.co/ZcTKGXIbmS
Flexitest, an assessment tool for evaluating body flexibility (20 joint movements). It is safe, reliable, quick to perform and master it, and, better, no equipment is required. Watch this 1-min CLINIMEX's Flexitest video demo
