Standing work increases muscle activity compared to traditional sedentary work. The adjustability of worktops and solutions that make standing easier are of great importance. A stationary working position can cause musculoskeletal disorders as well as static muscle strain, which impedes blood circulation and causes muscle fatigue. Standing work prevents these ailments and using a standing mat or active board further improves well-being:
- When you get up, there is movement and your body wakes up from sleep
- Energy consumption triples
- The body again begins to produce substances that cleanse the bloodstream of fat and blood sugar
- Standing for three hours a day for a year can be compared to the energy consumption of 10 marathon runs
Benefits of standing mat:
- The carpet dampens
- Prevents changes in joint wear
