A study suggests that the number of push-ups one can perform may be an indicator of cardiovascular health, with adults able to do 40 push-ups being significantly less likely to develop heart conditions. The study provides benchmarks for "good" push-up counts by age and gender, such as 20 for women and 28 for men at age 25.
