Sitting and standing for prolonged periods of time in the workplace has become a well-debated subject. For COBA’s #StandUpForHealth campaign, we will be looking at the differences sitting and standing in work environments can have on the body and our health. Our previous post explained the problem with sitting, and how sitting for prolonged periods of time can have a negative effect on the body and mind. In this post, we will be looking at the effect standing in any work environment has, and looking more closely at the science of standing.
For further information, download our free eBook, which further explains the risks of prolonged standing, the science of standing and offers tips on how to stand in a safer, healthier way. Our next post will go into detail about Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), injuries or conditions that affect the human body, and how MSDs can cause problems within a work environment.
