I know this is often taken for granted to the point of being a meme, but this is the clearest example of correlation vs causation that some of you zoomers or actual morons would do good to remember.
>doing 40 pushups makes you not get heart disease as much (causation)
vs >people who exercise routinely are both more likely to be able to do a lot of pushups and have lower risk of heart disease, amongst all other exercise related benefits that weren't tested for (correlation)
If you actually looked at that headline and thought "that's neat" instead of "no shit", you are sub 60 IQ
There's not really a meaningful difference between someone who exercises regularly and someone who can do 40 push ups, definitely not when compared to the average person, you fricking moron
40 push-ups is basically cardio. Of course men who can do 40 in one set are healthier since push-ups are easier if you're lighter weight and it also implies some level of cardio fitness
In other words:
>men who are not dangerously obese have significantly lower risk of heart disease
>science
I can only imagine the kind of people who needed this or found it "insightful".
you're a homosexual
like 40 in a set?
yes under one minute
yes but you can take a breather at the top.
I can do 100 easily and im over 220lbs with bmi of a clinically obese
I haven't done pushups since August 2016
I do push-ups every morning. I can do 200 now.
I can tops out at 20, 15 on average, great triceps and chest exercise
probably a better proxy value to gauge general fitness than being able to jog a short distance
>people that exercise are healthier than those who don't
I'm shocked
It's not even that, it's more like people who aren't morbidly obese
>there are firefighters who can’t do 10 pushups
No more taxes

>10 pushups
>Women
Kek, who's gonna tell them.
>10 pushups
Even when I was an obese blob I could do 10 with no issue, how fricking weak do you have to be to not even manage that?
In the same study they also found that men who can do 40 pushups have a significantly higher risk of dying in a house fire.
Statistics are funny.
what about non Harvard Men? do they get teh benefots of puships?

Wtf?
>we studied firefighters
>low end of study is less than 10 push-ups
This entire study is moronic.
what a weird wording
what happens if you can do 25 under 60? where does the point of diminishing returns start?
