With 6 video modules, marketing materials, badging and gamification functionality, this new product suite is delivering scary results!

WHAT WE KNOW

Sedentary Time and its Association with Risk for Disease Incidence, Mortality and Hospitalization in Adults, A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Annals of Internal Medicine. Jan 2015. Prolonged uninterrupted sedentary behavior will, without question, kill you over time. Episodic exercise isn’t enough to counteract the effects, but the associations may become less pronounced as physical activity increases – more research is needed.

Prolonged, uninterrupted SEDENTARY POSTURES are independently correlated with premature death, premature aging, increased MSD prevalence, increased chronic disease states (such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer) decreased quality of life, etc.

THE MEGA TRENDS

Employers and Employees
• Employees want standing solutions • Employers are uncertain
Furniture Manufacturers
• Increasing options • Ubiquitous marketing • Stubborn price point

IN SUMMARY

People are not designed to sit all day • People are not designed to stand all day • Sit stand workstations do NOT achieve movement • Standing simply substitutes another risky posture into the mix • THE BEST POSTURE IS THE NEXT POSTURE • To achieve better health we need to MOVE MORE

SOLUTIONS

PREVENTION & TREATMENT

• Simply stand up once every 15 minutes.
• The simple activity of standing up 30 to 35 times a day (which is akin to a squat) is enough to maintain your health and prevent a decline from sedentary life. (NASA, Vernikos)
