b. Personal Wellness Profile Assessment female participants should use the maximum<br />
push-up test in the modified position. The modified push up is performed on the<br />
hands and knees with the back straight and hands slightly in front of the shoulders in<br />
the up position. Continue the test until fatigue or until proper form can no longer be<br />
maintained. No resting is allowed.<br />
2. Required Equipment:<br />
a. Gym mat, or suitable flooring.<br />
b. Stop watch or timing device.<br />
3. <strong>Test</strong> Administration:<br />
a. Have the member place his/her hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart, with<br />
fingers pointing forward.<br />
b. Starting from the up position (elbows extended), the subject must keep the back<br />
straight at all times and lower the body to the floor until the upper arms are at a 90<br />
degree angle.<br />
c. Subject then returns to the starting position. This is one repetition.<br />
