  2. Test Objective To complete as many curl-ups as possible up to a maximum of 75 at a specified pace.

  3. Test Directions • Pick a partner. • Partner A will perform the curl-ups while Partner B counts and watches for errors. • Partner A lays flat on his or her back with his or her knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and arms straight at their sides with the palms down. • Once Partner A is in the correct position, partner B placers the measuring strip on the mat under Partner A’s legs.

  4. Test Directions continued • Partner B then takes his or her position by Partner A’s head. • When the CD starts, Partner A follows the “up/down” pace – keeping their heels in contact with the mat, they curl up slowly, sliding fingers across the measure strip until the fingertips reach the other side and curls back down until his or head touches the mat. Partner A continues until he or she reaches fatigue.
