Although climbing stairs has many health benefits, some people need to be cautious when performing this exercise.

Dr. Surender Pal Singh - Head of Physiotherapy Department at CK Birla Hospital (India) - said that climbing stairs is often recommended as a weight loss measure with many health benefits.

However, just like jogging or cycling, it still has its limitations and some people need to be cautious when applying this exercise.

Dr. Surender Pal Singh lists the following precautions to take when performing stair climbing exercises:

People with heart problems

People with heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of stroke should consult a doctor before performing this exercise.

Climbing stairs can increase heart rate and blood pressure, so if not well controlled, it can be dangerous.

People with joint or bone problems

People with arthritis, osteoarthritis or osteoporosis should exercise caution.

Climbing stairs can put a lot of stress on your joints, especially your knees and hips, if done incorrectly or excessively.

Elderly or people with balance problems are prone to falls.

Elderly people or people with balance problems should be careful when climbing stairs. Losing balance can lead to falls and injuries.

Make sure you climb stairs in a safe environment and have assistance if needed.

People with respiratory problems

People with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should use caution when climbing stairs, as climbing stairs can increase oxygen demand and cause shortness of breath.

The person who has just been injured

If you have recently suffered an injury, especially to your leg, knee, hip or back, you should avoid climbing stairs until you are fully healed.

Climbing stairs during recovery can make the injury worse.

Note

If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath or any discomfort, it is important to consult a healthcare practitioner before proceeding, says Dr Surender Pal Singh.

Always make sure that your physical activity is appropriate for your current health condition, especially if you have an underlying medical condition.
