Why does going up the stairs take more effort then going down

Answer 1

Answer:

You have to lift up your body mass under the presence of gravity, so you have to overcome the force of gravity. While climbing up the stairs you have to put force on ground, more then your weight, which put same force but in opposite direction i.e. on you.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When you climb stairs or walk up an upward slope, you are doing “muscle-powered” work (expending effort) against the downward pull of gravity as you ascend. And when you descend stairs or walk downward on a slope, gravity is assisting you in your descent, so your muscles do less work (expend less effort) than when ascending.
