Compared to other parts of the body, including the stomach hardest formed. Once the bulge, it took great effort to flatten back. According to the study, the quickest way to flatten stomach crunches without legs was arrested.
During this time, sit up exercise is considered as the most excruciating stomach. Not just hard to do, this movement also often trigger back pain. But the complaint is, the results are not comparable to the suffering.
Therefore, many people began to move from sit-ups to other movements like crunches. The movement is not as heavy as sit-ups, but is considered more effective in the sense that the results are comparable with the pain and fatigue are nothing compared to sit-ups.
Back again about sit-ups, a new study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research suggests that sit-ups often do not
effective because of how it's done wrong. If most people do with the foot hold, then it should not be retained.
Holding down the foot while doing sit-ups, both held by another person or by linking to a stationary object indeed facilitate movement. But according to the study, hold leg sit ups actually make movement so ineffective.
In that study, the scientists involved a British national army. Some are asked to do sit ups for 2 minutes with a foot hold, partly to do sit ups in the same time, but his feet be left not on hold.
The scientists then studied the activity of the muscles involved in the sit-ups. Observations showed that the abdominal muscle activity was higher in participants who do sit ups without foot hold and it also means faster flatten the stomach.
More than that, do sit ups without legs detained claimed to reduce pressure on the lower back. Quoted from Menshealth, Monday (10/12/2012), this will reduce the risk of back pain as many complaints as sit ups.
