Sit-Ups (30s): Females, Age 17

The Eurofit Sit-Up test measures abdominal muscular endurance as the number of sit-ups completed in 30 seconds. Also known as the curl-up or abdominal crunch test in some batteries. Data are from Tomkinson et al. (2018), a pooled analysis of 481,032 European children and adolescents from 23 countries aged 9–17 — the largest Eurofit sample. This test uses a 30-second protocol; see Cooper Sit-Ups for the 1-minute adult law enforcement protocol.
