Brief Summary

There are two main aims for this study:

1. 1.conduct a proof-of-concept study illustrating how radio-frequency identification technology can be used to document the timestamps and duration of stair walking (ascending and descending stairs), and detect if an individual is stationary in the stairwell.
2. 2.assess the association of a 4-min bout of self-paced stair walking with changes in blood pressure, mood, and perceived exertion.

Conditions

Physical Activity; Blood Pressure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Stair walking duration

  Duration, in seconds, of stair walking as tracked by the RFID equipment

  Calculated after the completion of the 4-minute stair walking episode

• Stair walking distance

  Distance, in number of stairs climbed, as tracked by the RFID equipment

  Calculated after the completion of the 4-minute stair walking episode

• Stair walking speed

  Speed of stair walking, in stairs per second based on duration and distance, as tracked by the RFID equipment

  Calculated after the completion of the 4-minute stair walking episode

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Blood Pressure

  Before stair walking and 2-minutes and 5-minutes post stair walking

• Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion

  Immediately after stair walking

• Mental Energy

  Before and immediately after stair walking

• Mental Fatigue

  Before and immediately after stair walking

• Physical Energy

  Before and immediately after stair walking
