Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Many adults find it difficult to perform physical exercise during leisure. The workplace may provide an optimal setting to encourage a healthier lifestyle. This study investigates the effect of daily stair walking at the workplace on cardiovascular health.

The main hypothesis is that daily stair walking for 10 weeks compared with a control group results in increased aerobic fitness.
