Active Workplace: Physiologische und psychologische Bedingungen sowie Effekte dynamischer Arbeitsstationen (IFA Report 3/2018)

Die positive und gesundheitserhaltende Wirkung regelmäßiger körperlicher Aktivität ist unbestritten. Demgegenüber kann lange andauernde physische Inaktivität sowohl mit negativen physiologischen (z. B. Belastungen des Herz-Kreislauf- und Muskel-Skelett-Systems) als auch psychologischen (z. B. erhöhtem Stresslevel) Konsequenzen verbunden sein.

Breaks in Sedentary Time: Beneficial Associations With Metabolic Risk

Total sedentary (absence of whole-body movement) time is associated with obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, and the metabolic syndrome. In addition to the effects of total sedentary time, the manner in which it is accumulated may also be important. We examined the association of breaks in objectively measured sedentary time with biological markers of metabolic risk.

Cycling desks as a means to reduce sedentary time in the office has gained interest as excessive sitting has been associated with several health risks. However, the question rises if people will still be as efficient in performing their desk-based office work when combining this with stationary cycling. Therefore, the effect of cycling at 30% Wmax on typing, cognitive performance and brain activity was investigated.
