Point-of-choice prompts to use the stairs rather than the escalator consistently increase physical activity at public access staircases such as those in shopping malls. More recently, exercise promoters have targeted stair climbing in the worksite. A review of interventions in worksites reveals little hard evidence of successful increases in stair climbing, though the increases in stair usage are encouraging. The contrast between the worksites and public access staircases, however, is not simply one of location. In a worksite, the choice is between the stairs and an elevator rather than an escalator. We reason that the availability of the elevator or the stairwell may be the major immediate determinant of stair climbing in worksites and dilute any possible effects of an intervention.
在诸如购物中心的公共通道楼梯处，选择使用楼梯而非自动扶梯的提示能够持续增加身体活动量。最近，运动推广者将工作场所的爬楼梯作为目标。对工作场所干预措施的一项综述显示，虽然楼梯使用率的增加令人鼓舞，但几乎没有确凿证据表明爬楼梯的行为成功增加。然而，工作场所与公共通道楼梯之间的差异不仅仅在于位置。在工作场所，选择是在楼梯和电梯之间，而非楼梯和自动扶梯之间。我们推断，电梯或楼梯井的可用性可能是工作场所爬楼梯行为的主要直接决定因素，并会削弱干预措施可能产生的任何效果。
