Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Continuous Glucose Monitor
Participant has device inserted prior to dinner the night before the sedentary day, completes the sedentary day and two stair climbing days, then has the device removed on the morning of the 5th day.
Up to 5 days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Heart Rate
2 Intervention Days
Study Arms (2)
Stair Climbing 4x/day
EXPERIMENTALParticipants use the stair climber 4 times per day, for 4 minutes at a time. Total dose = 16 minutes.
Stair Climbing 8x/day
EXPERIMENTALParticipants use the stair climber 8 times per day, for 2 minutes at a time. Total dose = 16 minutes.
Interventions
Includes 1 sedentary day prior to completing crossover phases.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age greater than 40 years but less than 65 years (working age adult with reduce physiologic capacity to regulate glucose)
- BMI of overweight or obese (25.0 to 35.0)
- Answered "No" to all questions on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, or has physician approval to participate
- Hemoglobin A1C% value in the at-risk range of 5.7 to 6.4
You may not qualify if:
- Unable to physically perform stair climbing
- Currently exercising for 60 or more minutes weekly.
- Weight over 275 lbs (because stair climbing machine has a weight limit)
