The curl-up tests the strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles,
while the arm hang tests the strength and endurance of the arm muscles.

Exercise uses energy, and when energy expenditure exceeds energy intake,
the difference is made up by burning fat. Thus, improving one's cardio
respiratory fitness and muscular strength and endurance can help improve
one's body composition by changing the ratio of body tissue to fat.
