The aim of this study was to identify the most determinant factors for the perfor-mance in the pull-up and push-up exercises and the relationship among Lat pull down and Bench press exercises.
Fifteen males with sport background were evaluated for different fitness tests which included: maximum number of repetitions in pull-up, maximum number of push-ups, one-repetition maximum Lat pull (1RM Lat pull), one-repetition maximum Bench press (1RM Bench press), Lat pull repetitions at a load equivalent to body mass (Lat pull at BM-load), Bench press repetitions at a load equivalent to the mean weight obtained from the push-up position all the way up and down which was scaled for each participant and different anthropometric variables.
Maximum number of pull-ups were significantly correlated with maximum number of push-ups (r=0.80, P<0.01) and with Lat pull at BM-load (r=0.72), but not with 1RM Lat pull (r=-0.07) nor 1RM Bench press (r=0.08). About body composition, pull-ups showed a significant negative correlation (P<0.01) with Body fat percentage (r=-0.75) and Fat mass (r=-0.71), while Body weight showed (r=-0.61, P<0.05) negative correlation.
These findings suggest that pull-up and push-up exercises have common elements when performing maximum repetitions. In addition, the anthropometric dimensions seem to influence differently on both exercises.
