Climbing stairs can enhance digestion, protect cardiovascular, prevent cardiovascular diseases, prevent obesity, increase human metabolism, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and make blood circulation very smooth.

It can improve the flexibility of bones and joints, strengthen ligaments and muscles, avoid osteoporosis, exercise core strength, and improve cardiopulmonary function.

It can improve your own body functions, can help**, can promote digestion, can promote gastrointestinal movements, and can promote muscle development.

Climbing stairs is a thing we do more often in our daily life, we go to school, go home, commute to and from work need to climb the stairs, in fact, the correct stairs climbing the body is a lot, the method must be correct, if the way to climb the stairs is not right, then it will bring a lot of impact to our body, so what harm will climbing stairs cause to the human body?

First, it may induce cardiopulmonary disease or coronary heart disease. Excessive stair climbing can induce cardiopulmonary disease, manifesting as excessive breathing and rapid heartbeat, especially if you have high blood pressure, coronary heart disease or bronchial asthma, and strenuous activity will aggravate the progression of the disease. Patients with underlying diseases such as coronary heart disease may have an increased heart rate and blood pressure when climbing stairs, which will indeed increase the workload on the heart and risk of angina.

Second, it can damage the knee joint. The muscles around the knee joint are weak, and the upper and lower bones form long levers, which bear the weight of the human body 86, so the knee joint is the most susceptible to injury in sports. Climbing stairs puts a lot of pressure on the knees, and repeated stairs in a short period of time, or improper posture, carrying heavy objects, etc., may cause wear and tear or sprain of the knee joint, and the cartilage surface of the joint is not repairable once damaged, so we must pay attention to it.

Just take a single action of going up and down stairs to illustrate how serious the loss of knees is from climbing stairs.

If a person weighs 60 kg and the knee is bent close to 90° when going up the stairs, the quadriceps muscles need to generate almost 200 kg of tension to climb the stairs, and if you add the support force of the ground to the person, the pressure on the patella and quadriceps muscles in the knee part can reach 280kg. That is, with each staircase we go up the staircase, the cartilage surface of our knee joint will be subjected to more than 4 times our body weight. So, just from a mechanical point of view, every stair climb is a huge compression and wear on the patellofemoral cartilage surface and tibiofemoral cartilage surface.

Third, it may damage qi and blood. Climbing stairs too much every day may also accelerate the loss of qi and blood, and when the qi and blood are insufficient and weight-bearing activities are carried out, the cardiopulmonary function will be loaded, resulting in the onset of the disease. For example, some people are prone to shortness of breath and dizziness after climbing the stairs, which are mostly accompanied by chest tightness, fatigue, sweating and other manifestations, but after resting in place for a period of time, the symptoms can be eliminated by themselves, and they are easy to recur after exertion.

It is not good for the knees, it will increase the load on the knees, which may cause insufficient oxygen supply, and the middle-aged and elderly people should not climb the stairs, which is likely to cause myocardial infarction.

Varicose veins can also occur in the muscles and veins, the joints will be particularly painful, and the inability to straighten the legs at all will also affect the heart and lung function.

Many people choose to climb stairs when exercising, excessive stair climbing is likely to cause thigh muscle strain, ligament injuries are likely to cause pain, so be sure to do what you can.

Climbing stairs to exercise can enhance the function of body organs, maintain the flexibility of joints, avoid joint rigidity, enhance muscle strength, reduce the incidence of constipation, improve sleep quality, etc., the main disadvantage of climbing stairs is that it is easy to cause knee joint injury.

When going up stairs, it is recommended to lean forward slightly and bend your knees and raise your legs. When going downstairs, the body leans back slightly and relaxes the muscles, which can reduce the damage to the knee joint from climbing stairs.

The nervous system of the human body is in a resting state during the process of climbing stairs, which can effectively relieve the pressure on the nerves and help improve the quality of sleep.

Because it is aerobic exercise and can play a role in slimming some legs, stair climbing is a sport recommended by many fitness coaches to office workers. However, it should be noted that climbing stairs is a last resort fitness method, and its suitable people are very limited.

Stair climbing is suitable for healthy people who don't have time for outdoor sports such as hiking or even gymnasium or on-site exercise equipment, because stair climbing is much better than never exercising.

Among the people who have to exercise by climbing stairs, people who are slightly weaker and have some chronic diseases can engage in this sport, if they are patients with knee strain, arthritis, knee and ankle discomfort in the lower limbs, or suffer from high blood pressure, cor pulmonale, severe diabetes, etc., they should never do stair climbing.
