Objective: Complete as many curl-ups as possible up to a maximum of 80 at a specified pace.
• Student lies on a mat with back flat, head touching, arms outstretched at sides and feet flat with knees up.
• Students should position themselves so their outstretched fingertips are just before a 4.5 inch measuring strip.
• When performing the curl up students need to get their backs up off the mat far enough so that their fingertips cross the measuring strip.
• Form errors include: not getting the back off the mat and forcibly stretching the arms across the measuring strip, feet lifting up off the mat, head not returning to the mat, and inability to maintain the proper pace.
• After the first form error, students will get a chance to make the correction.
• After the second form error the test is concluded.
