Question

Explain the Procedure and Scoring of Partial Curl Up.

Answer 1

• Abdominal (Partial Curl-up)

• Procedure: The subject lies on a cushioned, flat, clean surface with knees flexed, usually at 90 degrees, with hands straight on the sides (palms facing downwards) closer to the ground, parallel to the body. The subject raises the trunk in a smooth motion, keeping the arms in position, curling up the desired amount (at least 6 inches above/along the ground towards the parallel strip). The trunk is lowered back to the floor so that the shoulder blades or upper back touch the floor.

Scoring: Record the maximum number of Curl ups in a certain time period (30 seconds).
