Physical Activity for Precision Health Research

A collaboration of 100+ UBC faculty affiliates to transform how physical activities are prescribed, practiced and monitored for promoting health

New study shows association of stair 🏃🏽‍♀️use with a wide range of #health outcomes, such as incidence of 🫀heart and chronic 🫁lungs disease, #diabetes and dementia. Maximum benefit is associated with climbing at least 6 flights of stairs 📶 per day (equivalent to 60 stairs steps). #physicalactivity #exercise #usethestairs https://t.co/y09rmNlHfN
