Daily stair climbing for heart rehab
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether climbing stairs every day helps people with heart problems recover better during cardiac rehab. If you are in a rehab program and can walk without help, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need cardiac rehabilitation for a heart problem and are admitted to a specific rehab unit.
- You can walk at least 200 meters (about 2 city blocks) without a cane or walker.
- You do not have a condition that makes climbing stairs unsafe for you.
- You do not have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator.

This study tests a physical activity program that helps people with heart disease increase their daily steps and stay active after cardiac rehabilitation. It focuses on both the number of steps and how brisk they are to improve heart health.
This study tests a new way to measure how well people climb stairs using small motion sensors. It includes people with different conditions and healthy volunteers to see if the test works for everyone.
This study tests whether climbing stairs regularly can lower blood pressure better than brisk walking. It is for people who have high blood pressure, are overweight, and are not very active right now.
This trial tests if a popular fitness app can help people recover from heart problems. You would do workouts at home and see if they improve your health and recovery.
This study tests whether short bursts of stair climbing (called 'exercise snacks') done twice a week can improve metabolic health in young adults with overweight or obesity. You'll be asked to do stair-climbing sessions and might also consume a meal-replacement shake, so the researchers can see how your body responds.
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
