Do Stair Climbing Exercise "Snacks" Improve Cardiorespiratory Fitness?
Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism 2019 January 17
We investigated the effect of stair climbing exercise "snacks" on peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Sedentary young adults were randomly assigned to perform 3 bouts/d of vigorously ascending a three-flight stairwell (60 steps), separated by 1-4 h of recovery, 3d/wk for 6 wk, or a non-training control group (n=12 each). VO2peak was higher in the climbers post-intervention (P=0.003), suggesting that stair climbing "snacks" are effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness, although the absolute increase was modest.
