Is daily stair climbing bad for your health?
Often people consider climbing stairs to be a physical activity. If you are a young person and climb 10-15 flights of stairs per day, it might not seem to be a bad idea. But if you are doing that daily for over a year, without doing any other physical activities, then it will ultimately damage your kneecap or patella.
Apatella femoral joint is the most important joint that propels your body from one step to another.
The right way to climb stairs
If you are climbing one flight of stairs then you should walk 1 km flat. If you don’t balance this equation, you are in trouble. Balancing stair climbing and walking on flat ground is the right way to keep the knee joint stable and prevent further damage.
Every person’s knee joint gets damaged to some degree every day. The body’s repetitive mechanism will heal the tissues within the next 24 hours. If you are damaging the knee joint beyond the repair mechanism of your body, the damage will leave a deficit in repair which means that the compound interest of the damage will never be repaired. Ultimately, your knee joint will become bad in 5 to 10 years. So effectively use the resources available to be active without damaging the body.
