Does running stairs make you faster?

Question

well,i got stairs in my house an i have football coming up. can this make me faster?

Answer 1

I don't think it will make you too much faster, but it will definatly strengthen your legs.  Leg strength is very important depending on which position you play.

Answer 2

Running stairs are great. It will do a great job with strengthening all of your muscles and that will really help out with your sprinting. Also as you are running up the stairs it forces you to bring your knees up higher and that is something you need in order to run faster and good high knee drive. If you go do stairs do different things as you are running up them:

-Hop up the steps on one foot (hold the railing so you don't fall and kill yourself)

-Run up and touch each step with both feet as fast as you can

-skip stairs as you run up the steps.

Also walk back down the stairs that is a good time for a break. Good luck with your football season.

Answer 3

If you push yourself and run up them fast it will. It will streghten your legs and you will aslo build some endurance.
