Push Up for Heart Health
A new study finds that middle-aged men who can do more than 40 push-ups in one go had a 96 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease events compared with those able to do fewer than 10.
__
Furthermore, push-up capacity was more strongly associated with cardiovascular disease risk than the results of submaximal treadmill tests.
__
Other studies have shown that muscular strength is associated with lower cardiometabolic risk independent of cardiorespiratory fitness.
__
Muscular strength has been shown to have an independent protective effect for all-cause mortality and hypertension in healthy males and is inversely associated with metabolic syndrome incidence and prevalence.
__
Best of all is that the test is free and very simple to perform! How many push-ups can you do?
