Abstract
In college setting, students and faculty members tend to use elevator more often rather than using the stairs in going up to different floors. Seldom we notice that using elevator as means of transportation promotes sedentary life style amongst those people who depend on it. Stair climbing, on the other hand, promotes physical activity that can help the students and faculty members improve their physiologic status reducing the risk of different diseases and degeneration. This study aims to determine if there exist significant difference between the vital signs of the respondents who use the elevator against those who use the stairs, and its implications for routine stair climbing advocacy for students and personnel.
