How Many Calories Does a Press-up (Push-Up) Burn?

Introduction

Estimates of exactly how many calories a single press-up (or push-up) burns vary somewhat, from about 0.29 calories each to 0.36 calories per press-up, depending on the research you cite (Cohen, 2012; McCall, 2017).

However, a 2014 study from researchers at Arizona State University (Vezina et al., 2014) (and based on an earlier thesis by Vezina in 2011) suggest that the older…

Comparing Traditional & Novel Metrics to Quantify Resistance Training

Research Paper Title

A comparison of traditional and novel metrics to quantify resistance training.

Background

Common estimates of external training intensity for resistance exercise do not incorporate inter-set recovery duration, and might not reflect the overall demands of training. This study aimed to assess novel metrics of exercise density (ED) during resistance exercise, and how these…
