Measurement Tools for Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity ?? | Podcast host ???
I have had an honor to interview great guests on the podcast, and in this blog post, I am summarizing the discussions with Dr. Robert Bridger, the author of The Guide to Active Working in The Modern Office. ??? Dr. Bridger shared his valuable insights on office ergonomics and the concept of dynamic standing.
?? The sedentary nature of modern office work is a pressing concern. As a researcher, I've delved into the health implications of sedentary behavior and occupational activity's role in health. Dr. Bridger's perspective on office ergonomics offers fresh solutions.
?? ♂?Dynamic standing, according to Dr. Bridger, is the key to a healthier office environment. Rather than merely alternating between sitting and standing, we should focus on how we stand.
"Dynamic standing is about understanding our natural posture and movement patterns."
??By incorporating natural movement patterns and adopting a more dynamic approach to standing, we can alleviate some of the negative health impacts associated with prolonged sitting. This, in turn, promotes a healthier workspace.
?? Dr. Bridger suggests that accurate measurement plays a vital role in research and interventions. By understanding the context of physical activity and sedentary behavior, we can design better strategies to encourage dynamic standing.
?? How can you implement dynamic standing in your workspace? Dr. Bridger recommends adjustable workstations and tools that promote natural movements.
