That makes a great deal of sense, actually.

In the USA, there was (maybe still is) an effort to encourage people to walk up stairs instead of using the elevator. It was to save energy, reduce elevator waiting time, and improve health. "Aerobics" is a type of exercise. The relationship to the translation "oxygen" is obvious. The usual advice, as I recall, was to walk up one or down two flights of stairs.

Oh that do make some sense. Thank you. It is from a newspaper website. Most on the funny signs are in scandinavian. So they are not easy to translate. But here has one of Loosewires relatives been at work once more. Here are two more examples

Wow – Happyganl, an expert in Anglo-Sino semantics, the world is his oyster, he could make a fortune. Have you tried assembling a toy made in China, for an impatient 4 year old, while trying to decipher the instructions? Still trying to work out what was meant by: “Do not collide and fall off” that was printed on the sides of thousands of boxes of transformer cores from China.
