At present, with the improvement of people's fitness awareness, climbing stairs, which is both economical and convenient, has been accepted by many citizens. Going upstairs and climbing stairs is equivalent to doing aerobic exercise, which can exercise cardiopulmonary function and leg muscles at the same time, which can play a certain exercise effect. But when going down the stairs, the knee joint and ankle joint should bear the weight of the whole body. Repeating this action will artificially increase the mobility of these joints, the intensity of compression will increase sharply, and the possibility of joint wear will increase, which is not good for the body.
Bian Xiao reminded middle-aged and elderly people or obese young people to exercise by climbing stairs, and to master the measures and methods. Grasp the speed and duration of climbing stairs. At the beginning of exercise, the speed should be slow and the time should be gradually extended. With the improvement of sports level, the speed can be gradually accelerated or extended. At the same time, exercise should always be carried out at moderate intensity and don't feel tired.
Young people can take the stairs as a fitness method and an aerobic exercise, but the elderly should climb the stairs moderately. When climbing stairs, the knee joint should bear 3-4 times the weight, which is easy to damage the knee joint.

Bian Xiao advised the elderly to take the stairs as little as possible, especially not to lift heavy objects.
When the elderly use stairs for fitness, they must pay attention to the fitness safety of the elderly according to their actual situation, learn the fitness safety knowledge of the elderly, and protect themselves at all times.
