What is Abdominal & Hip Flexor #1?

• A. Inverted V Stretch.
• B. Round Spine.
• C. Side Bend.
• D. Pike Stretch.

Answer: (A)

This item is testing which stretch most directly engages the abdominal muscles and hip flexors. The Inverted V Stretch positions the body so that the core must brace to keep the pelvis stable while the hips are actively flexed or held in position. That combination makes the abdominal region and hip flexors the primary movers, so this move best fits the Abdominal & Hip Flexor category. The other options focus more on different areas: Round Spine emphasizes spinal flexion and abdominal control in a rounded position, Side Bend targets the obliques and lateral trunk, and Pike Stretch mainly lengthens the hamstrings and works the posterior chain with less emphasis on hip flexor engagement.
