When purchasing a work table, it is essential to weigh all the possibilities and many times we forget that we can choose alternative models, such as the tables with adjustable height, that allow us to work standing up or leaning on a bench. We review the advantages of these very particular tables.

Advantages of working standing up

Although we are not used to it, work standing up many times it is less tiring than sitting for hours. The important thing in all cases is alternate and remain standing for a while and sitting for others. The main advantage of standing is that it prevents Back pain, especially when you don't have the right work chair. Hence the advantage of lift tables, that you can modify them according to the needs of the moment and the type of work that is being carried out. Occupational risk prevention studies at work have determined that using a lift desk that allows you to remain seated and standing, reduces in just one month the back and neck pain up to 54%.

Another no less important advantage is that it minimizes the risk of suffering a heart disease. Sitting all day can increase the chance of heart disease. Also working standing up keeps the body weight, because standing burns more calories than sitting. Another benefit is that it reduces the sugar in the blood, that is, the glycemic index. Sedentary people, who spend a lot of time sitting, have twice the risk of suffering from diabetes, while those who work at least 2 hours standing reduce blood sugar by almost 50%. 

Find the posture

Sitting on a stool or on support seats specifically designed to work semi-standing is also a widely used option. What it is about is change posture when the user feels tired from standing or numb from sitting. the more Options have the worker to perform his work in a healthy and comfortable way, the better his performance.

Finally, some studies suggest that working standing increases the cognitive performance and productivity. In study groups it was found that people who worked standing up were not only more enthusiastic but also more flexible and productive than those who worked sitting down. It is believed that it is because working standing up activates the metabolism, which increases the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain, stimulating neural connections and cognitive functions. However, there have been opinions that are not so in agreement with this approach, since the productivity index It depends on many more factors and not just on body position.

Mixed model: standing and sitting

Working long hours on your feet can also cause lumbar overload, on the knees or on the hips. People with varicose veins can be affected and, of course, if you don't wear the right shoes, your feet can suffer a lot. Also depends on work to be done and how. For example, architects, draftsmen, and designers who still work freehand often use the lift tables and work standing up with the envelope inclined. Journalists, writers, secretaries and people who they type very fast they prefer to work at conventional desks. He too type of device influences, if you use a laptop or a desktop computer. In any case, the mixed model, that combines both positions to work, is the most convenient.
