Aren’t full situps with legs extended on floor contraindicated?

If the purpose of the exercise is to develop trunk strength then it’s not only a high-risk exercise but it is also ineffective.

There are so many other ways to strength the hip flexors and abdominals that are safer and more functional than the straight-leg situp.
