These are general reference norms commonly used in fitness assessments, not official medical standards. Use them as a benchmark and to track your own progress over time.
How it works
Do the test. Push-ups: as many as you can with good form, no time limit. Sit-ups: as many as you can in 1 minute.
Enter your age, sex, and rep count.
We compare your result against standard fitness assessment norms for your age group and sex.
Form matters more than speed — a controlled, complete rep counts; a rushed partial rep doesn't reflect true muscular endurance.
Frequently asked questions
Do as many complete, controlled push-ups as you can with proper form (chest to near the floor, full arm extension at top) without a time limit, stopping when you can no longer maintain form.
Do as many complete sit-ups as you can in one minute, with knees bent and feet flat, touching your chest to your knees or shoulder blades to the floor on each rep.
Average muscular strength and endurance naturally vary by age and biological sex at a population level, so fitness assessments compare your result to others in a similar demographic.
