Thread: Stand on one leg for ten seconds or you're going to die.

I expect all loyal TD'ers to be trying this out this evening.

An inability to stand on one leg in older age is linked to increased risk of earlier death, according to a new study that sheds more light on the association between balance and mortality.

The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that middle-aged people and senior citizens who are unable to stand on one leg for more than 10 seconds have greater chances of dying in a decade than those who are able to pass the mobility test.

Earlier studies have linked the inability to stand on one leg to a greater risk of stroke, and previous research has also found a link between poor balance in older age and the onset of dementia.

I'm going to stay on both feet and be immortal.

If one joins a balance class or practices to stand on one leg longer than 10 seconds, will they extend their life? That’s what I want to know.

I had to do all that palaver for a pre Employment medical in Australia
Stand on 1 leg eyes closed arms outstretched. Fail.
Lie across a bed and extend legs upwards.(planking) Fail. 20 pushups. Fail. Drug and alcohol test. Passed. Didn't get hired. Thank fuck for that no one said I would have to stand on 1 leg all ficking day to do my job. Cnuts

It might be best if he starts on two, to get his eye in.

Ordinarily a fair call, but I fear that he has, at most 10 seconds of balance left in him. Wasting it on two legs might ruin his chances of standing on one.

So how'd you do Willy?
