Benefits:-
Improved Blood Circulation
Fixed height desks greatly restrict movement below the waist. In fact, most traditional knee-tilt chairs actually cause some degree of blood pooling in your thighs or quadriceps.
With an adjustable height desk, your body is able to vary its position from sitting to perching to standing throughout the day. This results in measurable increases in blood flow and more nourishment to your muscles.
Reduced Musculoskeletal Discomfort
According to a study from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Research Laboratory at Cornell University, "substantial decreases" in musculoskeletal pain were observed within their sample of computer workers after just 4-6 weeks of working at a ergonomic sit stand desk. In fact, that study found that more than four out of five participants preferred stand up desks to fixed height desks. This supports other studies that concluded that when people are standing for a portion of their workday, they simply feel better.
Increased life span
A sobering study from the American Cancer Society in 2010 has shown a direct correlation between the amount of time people spend sitting and mortality rates. The study showed that mortality rates increased by 37% for women who sat for more than 6 hours per day.
Improved mental acuity and mood
Several studies have shown that workers at an adjustable height desk take fewer breaks and are more productive. In addition, measurable improvements in mental concentration and overall mood were noted amongst the participants.
Stand up desks are making their way into more and more workspaces, and people are feeling the benefits of this change.
