Question

Arrange the following steps of the procedure for the administration of Curl-up 
Test in a sequence from beginning to the completion of the test:
(A) Supine lying position on the mat with knees flexed, usually at 90°
(B) Maximum curl-ups for 30 seconds should be noted
(C) Trunk is lowered back to the floor so that shoulder blades touch the floor
(D) Warm-up
(E) On command ’Go’ the performer shall raise the trunk and curl-up to 6 inches

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (D), (C), (E), (A), (B)
• B. (D), (A), (C), (B), (E)
• C. (D), (A), (E), (B), (C)
• D. (D), (A), (E), (C), (B)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To arrange the steps of the Curl-up Test correctly, follow these sequential steps:

D	Warm-up
A	Supine lying position on the mat with knees flexed, usually at 90°
E	On command ’Go’ the performer shall raise the trunk and curl-up to 6 inches
C	Trunk is lowered back to the floor so that shoulder blades touch the floor
B	Maximum curl-ups for 30 seconds should be noted

Thus, the correct sequence is: (D), (A), (E), (C), (B).

Answer 2

The correct sequence for performing a curl-up test to assess abdominal strength is as follows:

• Warm-up – Begin by performing a gentle warm-up to prepare the body for the exercise and increase circulation to the muscles, reducing the risk of injury.
• Assuming supine position – Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, arms crossed over the chest or placed lightly behind the head.
• Curling up to 6 inches – Lift the upper body off the floor to a 6-inch height while keeping the lower back pressed into the floor. The core muscles should be engaged throughout the movement.
• Lowering the trunk – Slowly lower your upper body back to the starting position while maintaining control and avoiding jerky movements.
• Recording maximum curl-ups in 30 seconds – Perform as many curl-ups as you can within 30 seconds, ensuring proper form and technique. The total number of completed curl-ups is recorded as the result.

In conclusion, the sequence involves warming up, assuming the correct position, performing controlled curl-ups, and then recording the maximum number of repetitions within a 30-second timeframe. This test is a great way to measure abdominal strength and endurance.
