Summary

The worldwide epidemic of physical inactivity is rising significantly and the main cause is sedentary lifestyle. In this era of globalization and rapid advancement of technology, people are chasing after worldly matters, leading them to abandon the most important factor in their life and that's their body. Most people are leading a sedentary lifestyle as they indulge themselves in their never-ending work. There is a significant lack of awareness on the importance of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness to health as people are focusing more on factors such as smoking, cholesterol and hypertension. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of stair climbing (SC) and 1 mile walking (1MW) in relation to cardiorespiratory responses and fitness.
