| Research Abstract |
People with diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance need to reduce blood glucose level immediately after eating. A walking for about 1 hour after eating is effective to reduce blood glucose level. However, it is difficult for most of full time workers to have time for such a walking every day. This study clarified that a short bout of stair climbing-descending exercise with a flight of stairs with about 20 steps effectively reduce blood glucose level without a feeling of fatigue. In addition, this study suggested that an exercise intervention for a certain period of time with the stair climbing-descending exercise leads to an improvement of glucose torelance.
