2017
Despite the central role of human resources in determining the success of software companies, relatively little academic research has been conducted on the well-being at work aspect of software professionals. This study aims to address the aforementioned gap by examining the effects of using standing instead of sitting workstations on the well-being at work of software professionals in terms of their physical activity, mental alertness, stress, and musculoskeletal strain.

Sit-stand workstations : effects on occupational sitting time, potential health benefits, and acute postural physiology
2017
Given that a high amount of sedentary behavior is a global health issue, reducing sitting time is emerging as a novel intervention strategy and a workplace health priority. Sit-stand workstations have been introduced to the workplace, and can be used to rotate between sitting and standing postures at work.

Työt on tehtävä, eikä perinteiselle työpisteelle ole järkevää vaihtoehtoa. Vai onko sittenkin? Säädettävä istuma-seisomatyöpiste on kerännyt viime vuosina ihastusta osakseen, koska se mahdollistaa istumajaksojen katkaisun työtehon kärsimättä. Tässä artikkelissa annan sinulle taustaa siihen, miksi pienikin istumisen tauottaminen kannattaa ja mikä on uusin tieto istuma-seisoma-työpisteiden hyödyllisyydestä. Onko toimistotyöntekijällä sittenkin toivoa? nonPeerReviewed
