Age Adjusted Strength Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Age Adjusted Strength (AS):

$AS = S \times (1 - (A - 30) \times 0.01)$

Where:

$AS$ is the age adjusted strength
$S$ is the actual strength
$A$ is the age

What is Age Adjusted Strength?

Age adjusted strength is a measure of physical strength that takes into account the age of an individual. As people age, their muscle mass and strength typically decline. This adjustment allows for a fair comparison of strength across different age groups by normalizing the strength values to a common reference age, often 30 years. This is particularly useful in sports and fitness assessments to evaluate performance relative to age.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Actual Strength ( $S$ ) = 100
Age ( $A$ ) = 40

Using the formula:

$AS = 100 \times (1 - (40 - 30) \times 0.01) = 90$

The age adjusted strength is 90.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Actual Strength ( $S$ ) = 150
Age ( $A$ ) = 50

Using the formula:

$AS = 150 \times (1 - (50 - 30) \times 0.01) = 120$

The age adjusted strength is 120.
