Step ergometry has become a popular treatment mode in cardiovascular fitness and knee rehabilitation porgrams.
The following study describes the effects of forward stair stepping at 35 and 95 steps/minute and forward and retrograde stair stepping at 60 steps/minute on the mean electromyographic (EMG) activity of the gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, vastus medialis,semimenbranosus/ semitendinosous, and gastrocnemious muscles. Noting the minimal activation that occurs, stair-stepping exercise would not be recommended for strengthening of the hamstrings musculature.
