Push-ups are the act of using body weight to train multiple muscle groups at the same time, increase endurance and strengthen strength. Especially for people over the age of 45, the simplicity of this movement is even more effective.
Push-ups help increase coordination between the upper and middle body - an important factor in maintaining overall health.
As the body gradually loses muscle mass and joint stability over time, push-ups become an effective method to improve this condition. This exercise simultaneously activates the chest, shoulder, back and core muscles, contributing to maintaining bone density, strengthening posture and improving strength in daily activities.
Push-ups are a simple and accurate way to recognize your current health and fitness.
Push-ups clearly reflect the muscle strength and endurance of middle-aged people. For men aged 45 and over, if they can do less than 10 push-ups, they are classified as beginners; 10 - 20 times is the average; 21 - 35 times is considered above average; 36 times or more are rated as good for their physical strength.
For women of the same age, this standard is lower due to physiological differences in muscle mass. Specifically, less than 5 push-ups are the starting level; 5 - 15 times is the average; 16 - 25 times is the average; more than 26 times is a good fitness group.
