Summary

The aging of society is a natural process, but it entails challenges in social, economic and health aspects. It is important for mature people to maintain, for as long as possible, adequate functional capacity to live independently and autonomously. Presentation of reference values of functional abilities in continuous perspective (and not in 5-year periods as it is in standards for SFT) is a better approach. This approach reflects the process of change that occurs in functional ability. The aim of the study was to develop centile distributions of fitness tests constituting the Senior Fitness Test (SFT) for women over 60 years of age in Poland, moving independently.
