Sitting is the new smoking, we're told, and suddenly sit-stand desks are everywhere. But do we know just how healthy they are and the best ways to use them?
Science is just now catching up to the trend, and you might be surprised at what research has uncovered.Computers, not TV, are to blame for increase in US sitting time, study says"When they first came out, sit-stand desks were marketed as a way to lose weight, right? The next kind of cure to obesity," said April Chambers, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh."And they just don't do that.
Less work stress and pain means higher productivity, and today many companies have internal experts who are trained in how to set up desks, chairs, keyboards and monitors to meet each person's needs. "I recommend reaching out to that ergonomics expert and ask them to come and do an evaluation of their workplace," Chambers said."Try to make that transition between sit and stand as easy as possible and be sure both of those positions are set up correctly for the person.
