To support this, elevators across the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee buildings will be temporarily closed (with exceptions for accessibility needs). Goals: Promote physical activity in daily life. Raise awareness about the importance of simple movements for long-term health. Foster a culture of healthy habits in the workplace and sporting environments. Research Evidence: Studies show that using stairs regularly can reduce the risk of heart disease by 20% (Boreham et al., 2005). Just 7 minutes of stair climbing per day can significantly improve cardiovascular fitness (McConnell et al., 2014). The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes integrating physical activity into everyday routines to combat the global rise in sedentary lifestyles. Participation: All employees, athletes, and visitors are invited to join and experience the benefits of active living. Important Note: Elevator access will remain available for individuals with disabilities and others who require assistance, in line with inclusivity policies.
