‘Short burst’ of stair climbing can improve leg strength in older adults

Short bursts of stair climbing can improve leg strength and muscle power in older adults, research finds.
Peter Mellow's insight:

Stair climbing is a great exercise/activity, however...there is always a risk of injury from a fall. So always ensure that you go slowly and carefully with each step and ALWAYS have at least one hand on the handrail/s so you may catch yourself if you trip over. Be careful please!
