15 / 40 / 65
Dead Hang anchors for women 35 to 55 (Risk / Functional / Exceptional, seconds)
36 seconds
A Dead Hang time whose score and category depend on age and sex
Why some tests use cohorts
Systematic standards differ by test: some account for age and sex. The Wall Sit and the Dead Hang each score you within one of six age-and-sex cohorts.
These are Systematic-defined, test- and cohort-specific performance standards. They change only through an explicit new scoring version, never automatically.
What changes for you
For example, for women aged 35 to 55 only, the Wall Sit anchors are 40, 85 and 135 seconds (Risk, Functional, Exceptional); these are not universal. The Dead Hang for women 35 to 55 uses 15, 40 and 65 seconds. So the score and color of a 36-second hold depend on the test, your age and your sex.
On both tests, red, yellow and green (Systematic standards) come from your own cohort's category rules. So does the neutral target you see while testing, which is your cohort's Functional anchor.
The Systematic Healthspan Assessment is a physical baseline. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not estimate a biological age, a disease risk or a lifespan.
