All you need to know about clapping push-ups

A recent study indicates that clapping push-ups offer greater benefits in muscle activation compared to traditional push-ups, which primarily influence muscle strength and size. To perform clapping push-ups, one must first execute a standard push-up. The key distinction in this variation lies in the rapid upward thrust of the upper body, followed by a quick clap of the hands as they leave the ground. Subsequently, the individual returns to the starting position to repeat the movement.

Clapping push-ups contribute to enhanced upper body strength, improve muscle tone in the upper body, and promote shoulder stability and core strength. This exercise is categorized under callisthenics, a form of training that utilizes an individual's body weight and is characterized by varying intensities and rhythms.
