How long can you stand on your non-dominant leg with your eyes closed?

It's an article about diagnostic tests of health for old people. It was interesting actually. Not so much BB /fit/ but definitely TB12 plyometrics QOL /fit/

I just did two minutes. I only stopped because I don't really care to see how far I can take it.

Headphones on 15-20s on both legs surprisingly difficult, but without them hum from pc was enough extra help to keep me oriented 1+ mins on both legs

this is the bosu ball squat bullshit all over again

in which situation requiring balance would you close your eyes?
>>
>>75475680
There's no real life situation. But this diagnostic test quantifies multiple systems which are all predictive of all cause mortality and injury risk.

By doing the test blindfolded you're eliminating the visual cues which you might use to be able to maintain a longer stance, this forces the body to rely on preprioperception. The system which the brain uses to align its body map with the environment.

The non-dominamt leg is also weaker. Leg strength, particularly the quads, are an incredibly strong predictor of all cause mortality and injury risk across all injury scales from aches and pains to catastrophic trauma.

I've never read/watched Berserker but this imagine has convinced me to give it a shot. Is the cartoon better to start with or read the manga?
>>
Had to do this test for the army medical exam, wasn't that hard, but I remember that with my eyes closed, I wasn't 100% sure that I was staying balanced, but I did fine. That was in 2009
>>
>>75475340
I skated as a teen and i could go regular and switchie. You and mayo clinic can suck my dick
>>
>>75476675
Cartoon ends early - very early into the story. Basically act 1.
If you want the rest you need to read. Mangas are incredibly gay and always a slog to get through so good luck. The story is pretty cool though.
>>
>>75476675
the manga is a masterpiece

>*head gets cut off in freak accident
>he has weak non dominant quads
yea this checks out

Just came to point out that they didn’t test unilateral (eyes closed) in the study. Only bilateral (eyes closed), bilateral (eyes open) and unilateral (eyes open). That said, I just did 28 sec. non dominant unilateral (eyes closed)

48, just did a bunch of yoga class with a bunch of yoga shit on one leg, and full of hotties that all want me
>>
>>75475340
Wtf that was retardedly hard, I ended up hopping around not long after until I had to put my other foot down. Crazy how closing your eyes makes it that much harder
>>
>>75475340
with my eyes open, a long time, I stopped because I got bored
with my eyes closed, around 10 seconds, and I probably look like I'm standing on a tightrope with my arms flailing around.
I think I'm gonna practice this exercise to improve my closed eye performance, because it felt bad
>>
>>75475340
Maybe start doing something manly like yoga.
>>
>>75476675
The manga. The art is way better but once you get past the golden age arc you can watch the 90s anime if you want to.

I can't do it for more than 5 seconds.
Is there something wrong with me?

This is mine except eggs count as a fruit.

>The non-dominamt leg is also weaker.
it isn't in standing on it, u stand better on non-dominant leg, that's what i have proven in my masters thesis which landed eventually in some paper published by my thesis advisor
of course u bot will "think" otherwise because that's the "consensus" in the broad west because dozens of tenures would vanish if they admitted they were wrong all these years - they have faulty model of standing on tensometric platform

yeah i got an A and my paper was 3 pages long excluding copied verbatim paper of 3 phd-s whom i have completely demolished - the experimet that showed no difference in standing (dominant vs non dominant leg) had so many holes in it it was kinda ridiculous xD average lenght of masters thesis was around 80 pages back then
>why so short?
because i didn't need any froth, we were flat out told 60 pages is bare minimum, turned out it wasn't the case at all

Predicts all cause mortality. RIP

GOOD MORNING SAAR

>>75478116
do you think this is something that you can practice with and increase the amount of time drastically?
If so would that then negate the outcome to what this is testing for? That is if practicing does help which I don't see why it shouldn't - unless practicing this helps train the parts of the body which makes you better

All I know is I am also going to practice as similar to this anon >>75479143 eyes closed I can only do it for a short amount of time, maybe not as short as anon though
>>
>>75480046
saar, good saargrades for saarversity for saarserious saarademia
