Answer 1

Answer;

A. The curl-up only tests the endurance of the abdominal muscles, not their strength

Explanation;

Curl up test measures abdominal strength and endurance. This test focuses predominantly on the main abdominal muscle, the rectus abdominus, and may not evaluate the core as a whole.
