They belong on the failure pile, right next to communism. If you mean a static hold, you're not reaping the benefits of contractive pressure. Typical prone movements, through sliding the legs, recruit the hip flexors and psoas muscles. The most that the abdominal wall can do is stabilize the core isometrically. This is because of irradiation, which is tension distributing from a contracting muscle to its accompanying neighbors. You do not want the hip flexors or the psoas irradiated.

Reciprocal inhibition is the opposite: the nervous system, as a matter of efficiency, relaxes the muscles opposite to the ones contracting. Productive ab exercises that cause this are Janda sit-ups, full-contact twists, and crunches with good form, which means holding the contraction at the top. You should not be able to rep out dozens and dozens of crunches if you're using proper form.
