Morris's answer was that bus conductors were required to stand and regularly climb the steps of London's famous double-decker buses as they sold tickets to passengers while drivers sat for long periods. His landmark study laid the foundation for research on the links between physical activity and health. Although conductors on London buses are now a thing of the past, Morris' findings are more important than ever. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, there ...

  According to a recent study, stair climbing on a daily basis may reduce the risk of heart disease and all causes of mortality. Climbing stairs is associated with better heart health and a lower risk of all-cause death, according to recent studies. For general health, experts advise stair climbing on a daily basis, aiming for three to six flights of stairs.
