Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 My imagination was captured by the idea of doing stairclimbing. This preceding weekend I participated in the Hustle Up the Hancock. Training for stairclimbing consists of...climbing stairs, and the more stairs you cover in the less time the better. Being neither a scientist nor an athlete, I don't know if this kind of activity will be detrimental to my longevity. Has anyone seen any literature on this? Essentially, it is sprinting uphill several times a week as a training regimen (usually for 20 to 40 minutes.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Why turn longevity into work? (ha) I doubt that sprinting uphill trains for stairclimbing and neither does a stairmaster. I did the SC for at least a month - got up to 34 floors and then tackled some real floors. FWIW, I found it easier to run up a flight, turn the corner, wait a sec then the next flight. It spells the muscle just above the knee. Real stairs. I doubt it increases lifespan. Regards. [ ] Re: Stairclimbing My imagination was captured by the idea of doing stairclimbing.
