Which exercise is listed as teaching Abdominal Strengthening and Scapular Stability (and more) on a Trapeze/Table and is the standalone example for this description?

• A. Assisted Sit-ups
• B. Upper Arms
• C. Footwork: Bend and Flex
• D. Scapula Glides

Answer: (A)

Assisted Sit-ups on the trapeze table combine core engagement with shoulder blade control in a single, clear way. As you lift the torso, you draw in and guide the abdominal muscles to curl the spine, while keeping the scapulae stabilized down the rib cage. That combination—strong abdominal work paired with stable, controlled shoulder blades—exhibits both abdominal strengthening and scapular stability on the apparatus, which is why it’s the standout example for this description. Scapula glides, by contrast, focus more on how the shoulder blades move and glide, rather than on building core strength. The other options don’t center the abdominal work on the trapeze table either, so they don’t fit the described pairing as directly.
