Are they health benefits with sit-stand desks ?
According to a study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, it’s not clear that standing instead of sitting burns a significant number of calories. It did find that you burn slightly more calories an hour when standing rather than sitting.
However, we do know that long hours of sitting are linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer, and shorter life. So rather than sitting, standing would counteract these risks. There have not been enough studies done yet to either prove or disprove these assumptions.
Keep in mind that using a standing desk is like any other “Change in lifestyle or workstyle”. It can come with its own “side effects.” For example, if you suddenly go from sitting all day to standing all day, you run the risk of getting leg, foot pain. The best is to ease into it by starting with 30 to 60 minutes a day and gradually increasing it as is appropriate for your body.
