简要总结
We used a parallel experimental design. Following an initial screening and familiarization session of study tests and procedures, eligible postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to a stair climbing (SC) group or non-exercising control group. SC training session was progressive program, and was performed 4 days a week for 12 weeks. Measurements were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks during the same time of day (±1 hour) in the morning following an overnight fast and abstinence from caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and between 48 and 72 hours after the last exercise session.

结局指标
主要结局
Arterial stiffness
时间窗: 12 weeks
Arterial stiff ness was measured by brachial to ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV, m/s) using volume plethysmographic device (VP-1000).
Muscle strength
时间窗: 12 weeks
Muscle strength was measured by the eight repetition maximum (8RM) test using extension machine (Cyber 6000).
Heart rate (HR)
时间窗: 12 weeks
Heart rate was measured by ECG
Body mass index (BMI)
时间窗: 12 weeks
BMI was calculated as weight/height\^2 (kg/m\^2)
Body composition
时间窗: 12 weeks
Body composition was measured using eight-polar tactile-electrode impedance meter (InBody 720). Body weight (kg), fat mass (kg), and fat free mass (kg) were assessed.
Blood pressure (BP)
时间窗: 12 weeks
BP (mmHg) was measured by volume plethysmographic device. Diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were measured.
Height
时间窗: 12 weeks
Height (m) was measured with a stadiometer
