Editing Push-up (section)

==Body mass supported during push-ups==
According to the study published in ''[[The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research]]'', the test subjects supported with their hands, on average, 69.16% of their [[body mass]] in the up position, and 75.04% in the down position during the traditional push-ups. In modified push-ups, where [[knees]] are used as the pivot point, subjects supported 53.56% and 61.80% of their body mass in up and down positions, respectively.<ref name="suprak">{{cite journal |last1=Suprak |first1=David N |last2=Dawes |first2=Jay |last3=Stephenson |first3=Mark D |title=The Effect of Position on the Percentage of Body Mass Supported During Traditional and Modified Push-up Variants |journal=Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research |date=February 2011 |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=497–503 |doi=10.1519/JSC.0b013e3181bde2cf |s2cid=52839751 |doi-access=free |pmid=20179649 }}</ref>
