Does active sitting affect productivity?

Sitting cannot be avoided, but the concept of active sitting can be a solution. One possibility is to use moving chairs when working at a desk. Unfortunately, intensive exercise after hours of sitting on ordinary chairs cannot completely eliminate all the negative consequences resulting from a sedentary lifestyle. Prolonged continuous sitting is associated with the development of various disorders that affect health, cause pain and contribute to chronic non-communicable diseases.

Common health problems caused by sedentary work

In their work, physiotherapists see people every day who experience occasional or chronic back and leg pain, neck and shoulder tension, fatigue and lack of concentration. These symptoms are no longer limited to the elderly. All of this has a major impact on the individual’s quality of life and satisfaction, which raises the question of the urgency of finding solutions to reduce sitting and promote a more active lifestyle. In Slovenia, too, the number of people suffering from chronic non-communicable diseases, which are the leading cause of death, is on the rise. As many as 40 percent of adults also fail to meet the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations on physical activity. Physical inactivity is one of the four main risk factors for overall mortality.

Transmission of the problem to younger generations and the link with physical posture

The problem is becoming even more worrying as physical inactivity-related diseases and posture problems are emerging at an increasingly early age, including in children. Sitting problems are seen in kindergartens, schools and at home, and are particularly accentuated later when people enter the office environment.

Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise

A high percentage of absenteeism is related to spinal problems. Statistics reveal that around 60% of disability retirements are due to spinal injuries. Surprisingly, it is not always heavy lifting or hard physical work that is the culprit, but often just the wrong sitting position. In fact, the load on the spine when sitting is almost twice as great as when walking.

Active sitting for more productivity

Workplace stress is a key factor that hinders productivity. Work overload brings with it compromised health, various aches and pains, general ill-being, which of course can have a significant impact on the performance of work tasks and responsibilities. In this context, active office chairs play a key role as they have a motivational effect and help to improve the working experience.

Active sitting for more energy

Active sitting has many physical benefits that directly affect a person’s energy levels. As the muscles of the body work more actively, blood flow increases, leading to a faster heart rate. Energy levels rise and this is a key factor in overcoming fatigue and improving overall well-being.

Active sitting to beat fatigue

Many employees experience fatigue, not only as a result of their work commitments, but also because of domestic tasks and the need to find a work-life balance. In the long term, lack of sleep can lead to chronic fatigue. Active sitting can play a key role in tackling this challenge by stimulating blood circulation, maintaining alertness and preventing employees from feeling sleepy during working hours.

SpinaliS office chairs for active and comfortable sitting

SpinaliS office chairs are an innovative solution, allowing users to sit in two ways: active sitting, which mimics sitting on a ball and thus stimulates various bodily processes, and comfortable sitting, which provides ergonomic support when sitting for long periods of time. This combination helps to prevent the decline in motivation that can result from uncomfortable or monotonous sitting.

Pain prevention with SpinaliS ergonomic chairs

SpinaliS office chairs not only provide comfortable sitting, but also actively promote spinal health. Their design and functionality reduce back pain, which is often caused by prolonged sitting. This contributes to overall well-being and prevents problems associated with poor posture and incorrect sitting.

Improved posture for increased confidence and productivity

Maintaining good posture while sitting in an office chair has many positive effects, one of which is reducing the chances of pain and long-term problems. In addition, a good posture has a significant impact on a person’s self-confidence, which has a direct impact on work performance. This goes to show that taking care of posture and comfort while sitting is not just a luxury, but a key element for optimal work performance.

Increased motivation with appropriate working conditions

Good working conditions are key to achieving more motivated employees. Among these conditions, the purchase of appropriate office equipment, in particular office chairs, plays an important role. When a company invests in work equipment that promotes the health of its employees, this has a motivational effect. Employees feel a concern for their well-being, which is reflected in increased commitment and productivity.

A combination of approaches for an optimal working environment

Ergonomically designed office chairs that combine comfort and active sitting have a long-term impact on work performance. SpinaliS office chairs are highly flexible, allowing you to take a creative approach to your office tasks. In addition to using these chairs, you can also incorporate other approaches into your work environment, such as raised desks and standing work. Different chair and desk positions, and desk angles, are just some of the ways you can adapt your workspace, and SpinaliS office chairs easily adapt to these different set-ups.
