Why do some people like standing office work?

We've all been there, lying in front of the computer, typing, with back pain, hunched shoulders, over time. If you've ever been in this (bad) position, you've probably wondered about the benefits of standing desk.

Standing is a natural human posture, which in itself poses no particular health hazard. However, standing regularly for work can lead to foot pain, swollen legs, varicose veins, generalized muscle fatigue, low back pain, neck and shoulder stiffness, and other health problems. These are common complaints from salespeople, machine operators, assembly line workers, and others whose jobs require long periods of standing.

Standing desks and treadmill desks have grown in popularity over the past few years. A recent survey of HR professionals reported that the use of standing desks as an office benefit offered by employers increased by 7% in the last year. Providing electric standing desks is one of the healthy options that employers can easily support and really boost office morale.

Standing Desk Ergonomics: Correct Positioning
You may hear the term ergonomics in relation to office furniture and computer equipment. Ergonomics refers to the way designers create devices to comfortably align with the shape of the human body. Using biotechnology and design engineering, office furniture manufacturers have some ingenious solutions to help you maintain better posture at work.

In the early days, a standing gaming desk was usually a few boxes or a stack of books propped up under your laptop. Standing desks can now be adjusted with different levers to elevate and adjust the keyboard, keep the monitor at eye level (to counteract "hunchback" and neck fatigue), and even provide a comfortable wrist rest for the mouse.

Standing at every task is often impractical. For example, answering a phone call, video conference, or sending a quick email might be a simple stand-up activity. On the other hand, it may be easier to sit down and write, design, or do deep research. Give yourself some time to relax from sitting and standing. Aim for 15-30 minute standing intervals throughout the day until you reach a balance that works for you.

Another aspect of standing computer desk ergonomics to consider is measures to prevent knee and leg strain. Keeping your knees locked for long periods of time or standing in high heels can put pressure on your legs and even your lower back. Keep your knees relaxed and slightly bent. Look for a comfortable standing mat that can accompany your desk, and wear comfortable, supportive shoes while standing.

Choose an adjustable small standing desk. Many options sit on top of a standard desk and use hydraulics to raise and lower a platform that easily holds your computer. These ergonomic standing desks make it easy to get all the benefits of standing work.

The benefits of standing work

1. Burn Calories
Standing burns more calories than sitting, even if you're just standing still. Now, the calorie difference between standing and sitting isn't that big. Standing burns about 100-200 calories per hour, while sitting burns 60-130 calories. But over time, it can add up.

Another calorie-burning benefit of standing at work is a shift in your mindset. You are more likely to keep your mind in "health mode" when you stand up. You'll be moving around more frequently throughout the day. You might do some leg lifts or do some squats or lift jumps for short breaks. Small changes in these activities can help you burn more calories during your workday.

2. Improve posture
Using an ergonomic standing desk can help you maintain good posture at the computer. If you stand a lot, proper posture will start to become second nature and not put pressure on your spine like sitting. Sitting for long periods of time can put pressure on the back and discs, causing discomfort in the back, shoulders, and neck.

3. Relieve back pain
Like poor posture, you might think that back pain is caused by sitting too long, but it's not a job you have to live with or accept. If you have a comfortable chair designed with back and lumbar support and alternate standing, you may experience some relief from mild back pain.

4. Contributes to wrist position
If you have your laptop on your lap while typing, you may have noticed that your wrists start to sag and "rest" on the keyboard. This can lead to wrist strain and pain. In people with carpal tunnel syndrome, compression of the nerves in the wrist may be more uncomfortable when the wrist is in the wrong position (although contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between keyboard use and CTS).

It is good to be aware of wrist position and physical strain while working. If you use a standing desk, you can comfortably bend your arms at a 90-100 degree angle. This is usually a more ergonomic position and may even improve your typing speed!

5. Keep it in circulation
If we look back at human evolution, our bodies move. When we stand, we improve leg muscles, balance and core strength. We can also prevent blood clots from forming in the legs. When people sit for long periods of time, such as on a plane, blood can slow down and build up in the legs. In the worst case, this can lead to blood clots.

When we stand up, we move our legs to allow blood to flow throughout our body. In some studies, people who sit for long periods of time even live shorter lives due to poor cardiovascular health. Standing regularly is part of a healthy lifestyle.

6. Boost your mood and focus
Finally, if your workday seems long and you find yourself distracted, standing up can improve your productivity by allowing you to focus and boost your mood. A study by Texas A&M University found that people who stood up and worked in a call center were 50% more productive.

Standing helps us feel healthier, and when we feel good, our mood is generally better. Participants in the Standing at Work study reported improved mood as a peripheral benefit of standing at work. So if you're having a slow work day (or feeling down), stand up!
