  1. Exercise

  2. How do these different types of sit-ups (see following three slides) affect the magnitude of the joint contact force on the L2 vertebral body? • Express your answer as theratio of the joint contact force (in terms of body weight) acting on L2 when doing the leg-raisesit-up to the force on L2 during the crunch. • Use free-body diagrams to support your analysis, and state all assumptions.

  3. The leg-raised sit-up: Start by lying fully flat on your back, legs straight and arms by your side. Then, you slowly raise your legs just slightly off the ground.)

  4. The crunch. Start from the same initial position, but instead of raising your legs, raise your shoulders and head off the ground, slowly and just slightly
