Sit-up Test Calculator

The one-minute sit-up test is a classic no-equipment check of abdominal endurance used in school PE and military fitness tests. Enter how many full sit-ups you completed in 60 seconds and this calculator rates you against general adult benchmarks. Use it to test core endurance, track progress, and set your next rep target.

The one-minute sit-up test measures abdominal and hip-flexor muscular endurance: do as many full sit-ups as you can in 60 seconds with knees bent and feet anchored. As a rough adult guide, fewer than 15 is poor, around 25–35 is average, and more than 45 is excellent. Count only full-range reps; norms vary by age and sex, so track your own trend rather than a single number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the sit-up test measure?
The sit-up test measures abdominal and core muscular endurance. You enter how many sit-ups you can complete in one minute, and the tool rates that count against age- and sex-based norms to gauge how well your core resists fatigue.
How do I do the one-minute sit-up test?
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet anchored, then sit up until your torso is upright and lower back down for each rep. Count full reps completed in exactly 60 seconds, pacing yourself to last the whole minute, then enter the total.
How many sit-ups in a minute is good?
Standards vary by age and sex, but for many adults around 30 to 39 sit-ups per minute is an average to good result, with higher counts reflecting strong core endurance. Compare against your age group rather than one universal number.
