Non-exercise use

Push-ups mainly exercise pectoralis major and triceps brachii, as well as deltoid toe, serratus anterior, coracoid process and other body parts. Push-ups are daily exercise and a basic training in physical education class, especially military physical training.

type

Standard push-ups require the back and legs to be straight and off the ground. In addition to standard push-ups, there are some different types, such as two-finger (thumb and forefinger) push-ups and push-ups with elbows pointing to the back of the body. These two kinds of push-ups focus on exercising triceps brachii rather than chest muscles. When the hands are not at the same level, push-ups can also exercise the core part of the body (the whole waist and abdomen muscle group). If the feet or hands are raised separately, the moving parts are the upper thoracic muscle and the lower thoracic muscle respectively. In any kind of push-ups, the trainer should lift more than 60% of his own weight.

Push-ups are a kind of exercise that can be customized and adjusted at will. For example, people can put one hand on a high platform and the other hand on the ground to do push-ups. Or the hands are not equidistant from the body, you can increase the training intensity of one arm or one side of the body, and you can exercise muscles in different parts. If you want to increase the difficulty, the trainer can do push-ups with five fingers or even one finger, or push-ups with one hand bearing weight.

Plane push-ups

Russian push-ups are extremely difficult push-ups, which require the trainer to support the ground with only two hands, while other parts of the body, including feet, should leave the ground. This push-up requires the body's center of gravity to lean forward and the legs are suspended, so it requires great strength and superb balance skills.

Boxing push-ups

Boxing face push-ups were originally carried out by boxers wearing gloves, but now they can be carried out without gloves, so trainers need to touch the ground with their knuckles without bending their wrists. This push-up is also used in some martial arts events, such as Taekwondo and Karate.

Push-ups on the ground

Push-ups are an action in gymnastics. This kind of push-up, the distance between hands is very large, and the ground support position is close to the buttocks and away from the pectoralis major.

Indian push-ups

Indian push-ups are very common training methods in Indian sports culture and Indian martial arts, especially in Indian wrestling. Their routine training includes Indian squats, Indian push-ups and stick exercises. Indian push-ups can improve human strength, endurance and joint flexibility [1], which is also one of the routine training in Bruce Lee. [2]

Indian push-ups and Indian squats are beneficial to the spine, because they can relax the spine and strengthen the spine to cope with the external force exerted by upright posture. [3]

In 2000, American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommended push-ups to test the endurance of upper body muscle system. Take the male exam as an example. First, keep the Indian push-up, keep your back straight and head up, and keep your hands shoulder-width apart. Then, your body drops and your chin touches the mat, but your abdomen can't touch the mat. [4]

Simple push-ups

Simple push-ups can reduce the supporting weight of the body and save more effort. Trainers can do simple push-ups after standard push-ups.

Push-ups are pushing and flexing arms facing the wall; To make it more difficult, you can stand away from the wall.

There are also push-ups, and using knees instead of feet to support the lower body can also reduce the difficulty.

Super-isometric strength training

Push-ups in the high-five push-ups of the U.S. Marine Corps are a kind of super-isometric strength training, which requires explosive pushing hands to make the body fly for enough time, high-five once or more at the same time, and then return your hands to their original positions before falling.

Another kind of push-ups that belongs to the super-isometric strength training is called air push-ups, which need to put two hand pads on the sides of the practitioner's body. First, put your hands on two hand pads to support your body. Then, the trainees leave the hand pads and let their bodies fall. After landing, he did push-ups with explosive force. Then, he stretched his trunk and arms back to the hand pad and returned his hands to the starting position.

Another push-up is a variant of empty push-ups. The practice is to do push-ups quickly, and let the body fly a few centimeters with enough explosive force, and keep it for a while.

Push-ups are also often used as health tests or gentle corporal punishment, or to show off one's strong body, or to show submission.

In competitive sports, especially in training, some types of push-ups that play tricks on people are sometimes taken as training content, such as asking trainees to take off their clothes and do push-ups in mud, snow and land, or putting heavy objects on their backs (such as putting a glass full of water on their backs, which will break if it is out of balance), or even stepping on the trainees' backs. Sometimes students are required to do push-ups with knuckles or several fingers.
