Stair Instead of Elevator Use at Work: Cardiovascular Primary Preventive Effects on Hospital Employees.
A study testing Physical activity in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 1 site in Switzerland.
Trial summary
This is an intervention study which evaluates the cardiovascular primary preventive effects of using stairs instead of elevators at the worksite during a 12-weeks period. We hypothesize that stair-climbing during working hours can meet the daily amount of physical activity recommended by current public health… Read more about this study
