What happens to the amount of power expended when you are climbing stairs and then climb faster?

I believe that the amount of power/energy you exert on yourself climbing up the stairs is wasted, and the faster you go, the faster the power is used up. It takes a lot of energy to go up one flight of stairs than it does going down five or so, depending on the body type of the person and maybe even the amount of gravity in that specific area.

Does climbing stairs for exercise affect the knees of old women?

Climbing stairs is a very good work out! If you do not have very strong knee joints, I would suggest taking something like cod liver oil. This is very good for keeping strong healthy joints. Keep climbing stairs, and the more you do, the easier they will become. (Try not to over-do it though!) =) Alex, 17. Older people should get an evaluation from their physician and fitness trainer to make sure that they are ready to take up stair climbing as an exercise. This is particularly important for people who have been sedentary or have had injuries previously. Start with short sessions of stair climbing and gradually increase the duration and intensity as the muscles and joints get more conditioned. -Eliza8


Is it correct English usage to say 'walking up the stairs' or 'climbing up the stairs'?

Just 'go upstairs' is probably more common than either of these choices. I need to walk upstairs and go to the bathroom. Bobby, climb up those stairs and go back to bed! Let's go upstairs and then slide down the banister.
