Summary

This study tested whether walking down stairs is as good as or better than walking up stairs for improving health in obese, inactive women. Twenty-four participants were split into two groups, with one group walking down stairs and the other walking up, twice a week for eight weeks. Researchers measured changes in heart health, fitness, body fat, and strength to see which type of stair walking was more beneficial.
