Research Abstract
A 75-day stair climbing exercise intervention (15-25 steps of stair, at least 4 days a week, 4 minutes or more per day) was conducted targeting individuals in their 60s and 70s. The aim of the study was to investigate whether this intervention would contribute to the maintenance and improvement of glucose tolerance, serum lipid levels, and indicators related to physical activity capacity. As a result, significant improvements were observed in triglyceride levels, HDL cholesterol levels, HbA1c levels, osteocalcin levels, daily AUC values obtained through continuous glucose monitoring, and lower limb agility, indicating functional improvements. Based on the above, stair ascending-descending exercise has been shown to have significant health promotion effects.
