The National Fitness Guide is issued by the State Sports General Administration, in which the standard of push-ups is more reflected in the basic standard requirements for individual movements. The guide points out that when doing push-ups, you need to keep your body straight, and the horizontal plane when descending should be consistent with your shoulders and elbows. There is not much demand for consistency and time between actions.

According to this standard, it is not difficult for people with a little fitness foundation to complete 50 tasks at one time. But if you really do it, equivalent to the level of young men aged 20-24, you can get excellent evaluation results.

Different from the single evaluation standard in China, the evaluation standard of push-ups by the National Physical Fitness Association of the United States is further refined. Firstly, the evaluated population is classified, considering occupation and age. Secondly, we can consider the time factor and continuity requirements of action standardization.

First of all, it is clearly required that the whole body must always be in a straight line from shoulder to ankle. In addition, when descending to the lowest position, the chest should land, and then when pushing to the highest position, the arm should be fully extended. And the speed should be kept at 20 to 30 times per minute, and there should be no rest between every two push-ups. Compared with domestic standards, this has increased a lot of difficulty.
