Sit Up Event |
“THE SIT-UP EVENT MEASURES THE ENDURANCE OF THE ABDOMINAL AND
HIP-FLEXOR MUSCLES. ON THE COMMAND ‘GET SET’, ASSUME THE STARTING
POSITION BY LYING ON YOUR BACK WITH YOUR KNEES BENT AT A 90-DEGREE
ANGLE. YOUR FEET MAY BE TOGETHER OR UP TO 12 INCHES APART (MEASURED
BETWEEN THE FEET). ANOTHER PERSON WILL HOLD YOUR ANKLES WITH THE
HANDS ONLY. NO OTHER METHOD OF BRACING OR HOLDING THE FEET IS
AUTHORIZED. THE HEEL IS THE ONLY PART OF YOUR FOOT THAT MUST STAY IN
CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. YOUR FINGERS MUST BE INTERLOCKED BEHIND
YOUR HEAD AND THE BACKS OF YOUR HANDS MUST TOUCH THE GROUND. YOUR
ARMS AND ELBOWS NEED NOT TOUCH THE GROUND. ON THE COMMAND, ‘GO’,
BEGIN RAISING YOUR UPPER BODY FORWARD TO, OR BEYOND, THE VERTICAL
POSITION. THE VERTICAL POSITION MEANS THAT THE BASE OF YOUR NECK IS
ABOVE THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE. AFTER YOU HAVE REACHED OR SURPASSED
THE VERTICAL POSITION, LOWER YOUR BODY UNTIL THE BOTTOM OF YOUR
SHOULDER BLADES TOUCH THE GROUND. YOUR HEAD, HANDS, ARMS OR ELBOWS
DO NOT HAVE TO TOUCH THE GROUND. AT THE END OF EACH REPETITION, THE
SCORER WILL STATE THE NUMBER OF SIT-UPS YOU HAVE CORRECTLY
PERFORMED. A REPETITION WILL NOT COUNT IF YOU FAIL TO REACH THE
VERTICAL POSITION, FAIL TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS INTERLOCKED BEHIND YOUR
HEAD, ARCH OR BOW YOUR BACK AND RAISE YOUR BUTTOCKS OFF THE GROUND
TO RAISE YOUR UPPER BODY, OR LET YOUR KNEES EXCEED A 90-DEGREE ANGLE.
IF A REPETITION DOES NOT COUNT, THE SCORER WILL REPEAT THE NUMBER OF
YOUR LAST CORRECTLY PERFORMED SIT-UP. IF YOU FAIL TO PERFORM THE FIRST
10 SIT-UPS CORRECTLY, THE SCORER WILL TELL YOU TO ‘STOP’ AND WILL
EXPLAIN YOUR DEFICIENCIES. YOU WILL THEN BE SENT TO THE END OF THE LINE
TO BE RE-TESTED. AFTER THE FIRST 10 SIT-UPS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AND
COUNTED, NO RESTARTS ARE ALLOWED. THE TEST WILL CONTINUE, AND ANY
INCORRECTLY PERFORMED SIT-UPS WILL NOT BE COUNTED. THE UP POSITION IS
THE ONLY AUTHORIZED REST POSITION.
“IF YOU STOP AND REST IN THE DOWN (STARTING) POSITION, THE EVENT
WILL BE TERMINATED. AS LONG AS YOU MAKE A CONTINUOUS PHYSICAL EFFORT
TO SIT UP, THE EVENT WILL NOT BE TERMINATED. YOU MAY NOT USE YOUR HANDS
OR ANY OTHER MEANS TO PULL OR PUSH YOURSELF UP TO THE UP (REST)
POSITION OR TO HOLD YOURSELF IN THE REST POSITION. IF YOU DO SO, YOUR
PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT WILL BE TERMINATED. CORRECT PERFORMANCE IS
IMPORTANT. YOU WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO PERFORM AS MANY SIT-UPS AS
YOU CAN. WATCH THIS DEMONSTRATION.”
