Crunch
All sit-ups, including the bent-knee type, utilize the hip flexor muscles to raise the trunk. The hip
flexors can be eliminated, and abdominal muscle endurance can be evaluated through the use of
the crunch test.
1. Have the client lay on their back, on a mat, with the knees bent to 90 degrees.
2. The client should extend the arms, palms down and by the sides, so that the finger tips of
both hands touch a strip of tape perpendicular to the body at just below hip level.
3. Two additional strips of tape are placed parallel to the first two, 3.5 inches (8.9cm) further
toward the feet.
4. The client should curl up, sliding the fingertips along the mat until they touch the second
set of tape strips, and then return to the starting position. The client's head does not need
to come back to touch the mat as long as the shoulders do.
