Stair-Climbing Proven as Highly Effective Calorie-Burning Exercise

Research shows stair-climbing burns significantly more calories than walking on flat ground, making it a time-efficient fitness option.

Stair-climbing can burn up to 20 times more calories than walking on level ground, according to research by Dr. Alberto Minetti from the University of Milan.
Adding just a few minutes of stair-climbing to your daily routine can enhance cardiovascular health and strengthen muscles.
The exercise is accessible to people of all fitness levels and can be done almost anywhere, from home to public spaces.
Using handrails during stair-climbing can increase muscle engagement and improve safety, particularly for beginners and older individuals.
Elite athletes like Suzy Walsham and Yuri Yoshizumi have demonstrated the sport's potential, but it remains an effective and simple exercise for the general public.
