The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between AAHPERD sit-up and cadence curl-up tests to assess abdominal endurance.
In this research, 32 male physical education students participated. All subjects performed AAHPERD sit-up and cadence curl-up tests to assess the endurance of their abdominal muscles. Data were analyzed by regression pattern and t-test (P < 0.05). The findings indicated a significant correlation between AAHPERD sit-up and cadence curl-up tests (r=0.65, P<0.001) and no significant difference between means. It seems that cadence curl-up test is relatively exchangeable with sit -up test to strengthen/assess endurance of abdominal muscles.
