keep them in touch with the surface. The pupil tightens his abdominal
muscles and brings his head and elbows for ward as he curls up, finally
touching elbows to knees. This action consti tutes one sit-up. The pupil
returns to the starting position with his elbows on the surface before
he sits up again. The timer gives the signal “ready-go,” and the sit-up
performance is started on the word “go.” Performance is stopped on
the word “stop.” The number of correctly executed sit-ups performed
in 60 seconds shall be the score.
