The findings suggest the use of the 1SPUT, ULL-SPUT, and 1minSPUT as practical measures to reflect the body composition, muscle strength, and mobility of older individuals, according to their functional levels. The tests may especially clinically benefit those with lower limb limitations and those in settings with limited space and equipment.
