How much do you sit, stand, and move during working days? Here are some interesting findings a friend shared with me. If want to change how you move at work and your posture, I can help you. Ergonomic-performance.com

Is there a significant difference on the frequency of these activities between male and female office workers?
Check out this research!
Here's an excerpt of literature review findings from our Accelerate program: the monthly curated literature review.
1. The aim of this study is to document compositions of sitting, standing and moving during working days for male and female office workers, and to determine the extent to which these compositions differ by gender, domain (work vs. leisure), and age.
2. In the study, men showed a higher ratio of sitting relative to non-sitting time than women, and within the non-sitting time a lower ratio of standing relative to moving.
3. The study found men to spend, on average, 72% and women 67% of their work time sitting, which is consistent with previous studies on office workers. About 50% of the men, and 34% of the women in the present population spent more than 75% of their time at work sitting, predominantly in uninterrupted bouts longer than 30 min, which is also consistent with findings in other studies.
4. Adults spending more than 10 h per day sedentary have been reported to have an almost 30% greater risk for premature death compared with those who spend less than 6 h per day sedentary.

Background Gendered patterns of physical activity behaviours may help explaining health inequalities between men and women. However, evidence on such patterns in the working population is sparse. This study aimed at documenting and comparing compositions of sitting, standing and moving at work and d...

IS YOUR COMPANY LOSING PRODUCTIVITY DUE TO INCREASED REMOTE WORKFORCE?

Solutions to how COVID-19 is changing where and how we work!

With all the changes happening in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most significant changes for business is the move to a remote workforce. With this shift, has come a significant increase in workers with pain and dysfunction in their neck, back and shoulders caused by repetitive strain due to inadequate home office setup.

What does this mean for you as a business owner, manager or Human Resources manager? Lost productivity and efficiency that is reducing profits. Employees are working in poorly set up home offices or even worse, kitchen tables and couches. Environments that we would never imagine acceptable in our onsite offices.
Employees are more and more seeking medical care from Drs and Physical Therapists, running up medical insurance costs as well as missed work time due to fighting the hazards of poor ergonomic setup and posture for hours of the day. Employees are less engaged in their work and distracted by pain and discomfort.

Our mission at Ergonomic Performance is to help you achieve your goals and mission by creating a work culture that promotes health and productivity. We make it easy for you to supply your employees with the equipment and education they deserve to stay injury-free and engaged in their work.

Ergonomic Performance tip-
Hip and low back pain is sometimes caused by hip and leg position during prolonged sitting.
Most common is sitting with legs turned outward causing hip tightness and restrictions over time. Try to spend the majority of sitting time in more a neutral hip position with legs straight forward. Also, take frequent standing breaks.

COMMENT: “hip stretches” if you want me to send you 3 stretches unlock painful hips.
