The push-up test is a physical fitness assessment that measures upper body strength and endurance. Participants perform as many push-ups as possible within a set time frame or until they can no longer maintain proper form. This test is commonly used in fitness evaluations for various populations, including athletes and military personnel. During the test, individuals start in a plank position, lowering their bodies until their chests nearly touch the ground, then pushing back up to the starting position. The results can help assess overall fitness levels and guide training programs for improving strength and endurance.
