An Exercise Prescription Program by Using Stairs
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.11 Vol.11】
The purpose of this study was to make out an optimal exercise prescription program by using stairs to improve the VO₂max in male and female between the ages of 10 to 60. In the first place, we tried to compose a standard scale for our Japanese adult men and women to predict VO₂max from independent variables measured during the application of the Canadian Home Fitness Test.
It was also made possible to estimate the HR and %VO₂max corresponding to the rate of climbing up and down on stairs for optimal training intensity in persons of the different sex, age and aerobic power. Thus, our recommended program for fitness training by means of climbing up and down on stairs was about 50 %VO₂max), in intensity, 20~30 min / session of duration and 2~3 sessions / wk in frequency as shown in our previous short review.
