Push-up capacity linked with lower incidence of future cardiovascular disease events among men

Men completing more than 40 push-ups had significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes compared to men doing less than 10.

Then why do 40?
Do 10!

Umm I'm pretty sure it's well known that people who exercise have better health outcomes.

I'm guessing people who exercise can do more pushups.

Push-up capacity was more strongly associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease events than was aerobic capacity as estimated by a submaximal treadmill exercise test.
