The push-up is a highly adaptable exercise that can be tailored to help individuals with specific needs, say a team of UWaterloo researchers who studied a modified push-up, called a ‘push-up plus.'

In the study, 20 healthy male subjects experimented with different hand positions and orientations to see which variations would strengthen it more.
