Manchester, NH, August 14, 2012 —There may be more reason than ever to consider an adjustable height desk. The health benefits of standing up while you work have long been touted by health professionals and researchers alike. But the latest research indicates you may get the greatest health benefit by alternating between standing and sitting while you‘re at work. Research has shown that sitting at work leads to a 54% increase of heart attacks among workers—even among those who exercise regularly and don‘t smoke. But newer studies also show that standing for long periods can increase hardening of the cartotid arteries in your neck due to the increased stress on the circulatory system. Add the stress of standing on knees and the feet for long periods and it can lead to other problems.
A good compromise would be to sit for part of the day and stand for another part. To make this a continuing part of your routine requires a sit to stand desk. Adjustable height desks allow you to stand or sit throughout the day.
“There are other benefits of using an adjustable height desk, according to Alan Hedge, professor of design and environmental analysis in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell and director of Cornell's Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory. “We found that the computer workers who had access to the adjustable work surfaces also reported significantly less musculoskeletal upper-body discomfort, lower afternoon discomfort scores and significantly more productivity."
