20-29 years old In this age group, individuals should ideally be able to balance on one leg for at least 30 seconds.
30-39 years old For those in their 30s, a balance time of around 25-30 seconds is expected. While balance may slightly decline with age, it should still be relatively stable during this period.
40-49 years old People in their 40s should aim for 20-25 seconds of one-legged standing. As the body starts to experience minor changes in coordination and muscle tone, balance time may begin to slightly decrease.
50-59 years old In your 50s, being able to balance on one leg for 15-20 seconds is a reasonable expectation. Balance and proprioception may begin to decline more noticeably during this decade.
60-69 years old For individuals in their 60s, the target is typically 10-15 seconds. With age, muscle mass and coordination may decrease, leading to reduced balance time, which is common for older adults.
70-79 years old By the time you reach your 70s, standing on one leg for 5-10 seconds is generally considered typical. Maintaining balance becomes more challenging due to reduced muscle strength and flexibility.
80 years and older In this age group, 5 seconds or less is common, as age-related changes in muscle strength, flexibility, and joint health significantly impact balance.
