Comparison of Physical Fitness Index and Maximal Aerobic Capacity Pre and Post Stair Case Climbing
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The current study looks into comparison made in cardiovascular functional abilities of students before and after eight weeks staircase climbing. 60 medical students of age group 18-25 years of tertiary health centre of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai were included in the study. Regular stair climbing exercise induces significant adaptations both at rest and during exercise in a variety of factor like heart rate, blood pressure,physical fitness index and maximal aerobic power. These changes suggest significant increase in cardiovascular fitness after training of stair climbing for 8 weeks. As fitness levels improve, the body functions more efficiently and the heart can better withstand the strains of everyday stress.
