One Minute Curl Up Test of Core Strength https://www.topendsports.com/videos/testing/strength-endurance/one-minute-curl-up-test-of-core-strength/ https://www.topendsports.com/videos/testing/strength-endurance/one-minute-curl-up-test-of-core-strength/#respond Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:15:56 +0000 http://topendsports.com/videos/?p=269 Here is a group of people performing a one-minute sit up test. They are using the technique of having their hands on their thighs, and sliding them up to their knees. Having the hands like this is a much more controlled method of doing the sit up, compared to some other methods where there is a lot of bouncing and erratic movements.

They are using the technique of having their feet held down (using something attached to the wall) and their arms across their chest.
