WHAT DOES SIT-UP MEAN IN GERMAN?

Sit-up

Sit-up

Sit-up is an exercise in which the upper body is raised from lying down. The exercise is meant to be used for the training of the abdominal muscles, but is now considered to be unfavorable, since the musculus psoas major is more strongly addressed than the target musculature and this muscle is already shortened too much in most people. As a better alternative, belly presses are recommended as they are much more gentle and safe to operate. Damage to the spine is avoided. With muscle building exercises like sit-ups, no excess weight can be removed, which is why abdominal training alone does not cause a flat stomach. It is also necessary, if necessary, to carry out weight loss.

Sit-up ist eine Übung, bei der man aus dem Liegen den Oberkörper aufrichtet. Die Übung soll dem Training der Bauchmuskulatur dienen, gilt aber mittlerweile als ungünstig, da der Musculus psoas major dabei stärker als die Zielmuskulatur angesprochen wird und dieser Muskel bei den meisten Menschen bereits zu sehr verkürzt ist. Als bessere Alternative werden Bauchpressen empfohlen, da sie wesentlich schonender und ungefährlicher auszuführen sind. Schädigungen der Wirbelsäule werden dabei vermieden. Mit Muskelaufbauübungen wie Sit-ups lässt sich kein überschüssiges Gewicht abtrainieren, weshalb Bauchmuskeltraining alleine keinen flachen Bauch bewirkt. Es ist bei Bedarf vor allem auch Ausdauersport zur Gewichtsreduzierung nötig.
