We aimed to investigate the predictive validity of motor fitness and flexibility tests in relation to health outcomes in adults and older adults. Web of Science and PubMed databases were screened for studies published from inception to November 2020. Two authors systematically searched, evaluated, and extracted data from identified original studies and systematic reviews\/meta-analysis. Three levels of evidence were constructed: strong, moderate, and limited\/inconclusive evidence. In total, 1182 studies were identified, and 70 studies and 6 systematic reviews\/meta-analysis were summarized. Strong evidence indicated that (i) slower gait speed predicts falls and institutionalization\/hospitalization in adults over 60 years old, cognitive decline\/impairment over 55 years old, mobility disability over 50 years old, disability in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) over 54 years old, cardiovascular disease risk over 45 years old, and all-cause mortality over 35 years old; (ii) impaired balance predicts falls and disability in IADL\/mobility disability in adults over 40 years old and all-cause mortality over 53 years old; (iii) worse timed up&amp;go test (TUG) predicts falls and fear of falling over 40 years old. Evidence supports that slower gait speed, impaired balance, and worse TUG performance are significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes in adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11020328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]],"date-time":"2022-01-10T17:42:25Z","timestamp":1641836545000},"page":"328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Predictive Validity of Motor Fitness and Flexibility Tests in Adults and Older Adults: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0687-7554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuria","family":"Mar\u00edn-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9070-5693","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina","family":"Cruz-Le\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandro","family":"Perez-Bey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julio","family":"Conde-Caveda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1425-9745","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Grao-Cruces","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2867-378X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Virginia A.","family":"Aparicio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology \u201cJos\u00e9 Mataix Verd\u00fa\u201d, University of Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Sport and Health University Research Centre, University of Granada, 18007 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7353-0382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Castro-Pi\u00f1ero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Cuenca-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GALENO Research Group, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Education Sciences, University of Cadiz, Puerto Real, 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de C\u00e1diz (INiBICA), University of C\u00e1diz, 11009 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2145","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)00516-4","article-title":"The World report on ageing and health: A policy framework for healthy ageing","volume":"387","author":"Beard","year":"2016","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Murray, C.J., Lopez, A.D., and World Health Organization (1996).
