摘要：Despite its obvious advantages few studies have examined health outcomes of exercise schedule of regular staircase ascent and descent which is included in physically active lifestyle in the maintenance of good health. Here we compared cardiovascular changes and recovery time between staircase ascent and descent, between male and female. Method: 64 male and 64 female of age group 18-22 were told to perform staircase ascent and descent exercise with rest pause in between to assess changes in blood pressure and pulse rate immediately after exercise compared to resting condition. Results: The statistical analysis was done using SPSS version17 software and Student’s t-test was applied. Mean changes in systolic blood pressure and pulse rate were significantly more after ascent as compared to descent, mean recovery time for blood pressure and pulse rate was significantly more after ascent as compared to descent in both groups(p
