Sit-Ups (30s): Females, Age 9
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.

What these numbers mean for females aged 9
A score around 17 reps is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group. Scores above about 20 reps fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 14 reps fall near the 25th percentile, about 75% of the reference population scored higher.
Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
