Plus, the crunch is an isotonic movement that involves shortening of the muscles against gravity.

In general, isotonic exercises are more effective for muscle hypertrophy than isometric ones.

Isometric contractions of the muscles experiencing myofascial pain also increases the pain; whereas isotonic contractions of the muscle does not.
