A crunch differs from a sit up because unlike a sit up during abdominal crunches the lower back should not leave the floor in order to eliminate hip flexors and create an isolated exercise for the abdominals.

Do sit ups exercise cause stomach problems?

if you don't have the abs and back muscle to support a sit-up then yes, they tear you up. they're not healty if you aren't fit in the stomache area. if you want to do sit-ups, because they do help, then you need to build up your abs and lower back so they can support your weight. the sit-up is like a step-up from the crunch and reverse crunch. it targets basically the same areas but it can be dangerous.
