The push-up test

Explanation:

Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. It is the ability to overcome resistance and be highly energetic. It requires a muscular unit or a combination of muscular units to apply force. Strength helps to lift and carry heavy objects. There are three types of strengths: static, explosive and dynamic. Static strength is applied while holding a handstand in gymnastics. Explosive strength is applied while performing a spike in volleyball. Dynamic strength is applied while performing repetitions in weight training, The corresponding example would include bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push-up test is most often used to test muscular strength.
