Plank Alternative
The tuck exercise has not been specifically studied for its effectiveness or relative benefits, but the v-sit, which is incorporated into one of the most common tuck variations has been examined.
Add the V-Sit Ab Exercise to Your Core Workout Routine
In one small 2015 study, researchers compared the v-sit to the prone plank exercise. Planks are one of the most common abdominal exercises performed. The plank engages your abdominal muscles, but also requires that you engage muscles in the back and shoulders. Study authors were interested in seeing why there is so much variation between holding times in the two exercises, even though (nearly) the same muscles are engaged.
