Push Up Test for Muscular Endurance

The Standard Push-Up Test

• Perform a short warm up before performing any fitness testing.
• Begin in a push-up position on hands and toes with hands shoulder-width apart and elbows fully extended.
• While keeping a straight line from the toes to hips, and to the shoulders, lower your upper body so your elbows bend to 90 degrees.
• Push back up to the start position.
• That is one rep.
• Continue with this form and complete as many repetitions as possible without breaking form.
• Record the total number of full push-ups completed.
