摘要：The purpose of the study is to measure the actual load of the movement to go up stairs which would generally end before the physical condition reaches the steady state. Subjects consisted of nine healthy male adults, and the results were compared with the load by Treadmil walking. The average time to go up stairs in a typical Japanese house was approximately 10 sec, and the load for physical reaction was 10.2 METS. However, the maximum load for physical reaction per min was 2.7 METS. Subjects were instructed to perform Treadmil walking, of which inclination rate was set at 25%, for approximately 10 sec at three different speeds, 2, 4, and 6 km/h. It was concluded that Treadmil walking at the speed of 4 km/h produced the most approximate load to that of the movement to go up stairs. Careful consideration will be necessary for determining the load of the movement which does not reach the steady state of physical condition.
