01Understand the check

What the squats check can tell you

Your lower-body endurance, rated for your age and sex.

  • What it measures

    How many squats you can do in a set time, to the depth you choose, for lower-body strength and endurance.

  • What it can't tell you

    A result you can compare across different tests: a 30-second count is doubled, which can rate you higher. Use the same depth and length each time.

  • What you need

    A clear floor space, a timer and about 3 minutes; a chair behind you helps you judge the depth. Your age and sex too, because the ratings use them.

02Take the check

Do your squats and enter the count

60 seconds if you can.

Squats Test

Count only the repetitions done with good form.

Add your age and sex Needed for a rating

Some assessments compare your result with people of the same age and sex, so they can only give a rating once they know both. Sneaky will not guess. What you enter here stays on this device.

Move the slider towards the end that applies to you. The middle means “not stated”, and an assessment that compares by sex will then not give a rating.

Quick answers about squats.

30 or 60 seconds?

60 seconds if you can. A 30-second count is doubled to compare it with one-minute ratings, which can rate you higher than a full minute would.

Which depth should I choose?

To 90 degrees, with your thighs level with the floor, is the standard. Partial is easier and deep is harder. A chair behind you helps you judge the depth. Use the same depth and test length each time so your report can compare your results directly.

What counts as one squat?

Bend to your chosen depth, then stand up fully, with your heels down. Stop counting when your form breaks.

How is my count rated?

With the bands for your age and sex, from Very Poor to Excellent. When your height and weight are known, a body-size adjustment can apply, and your result says so.

When should I stop?

If you feel pain in your knees, hips or back.

If a result worries you, or you have symptoms, an injury or a health condition, talk to a doctor or another qualified professional. This check gives general information, not a diagnosis or medical advice.
