From this research, and what the participant workers had to say about chair-bound work is shared by all who sit for long periods of time…

There are indeed issues of bodily stress, loss of focus, and decreased productivity after sitting in a chair and working for 2-3 hours without much movement.

What our survey participants had to say…

“I start to get very lethargic and bored, and I can feel myself start to get sleepy as well. I start thinking about how unhealthy it truly is to be sitting in a cubicle space for 8 hours a day. My feet and legs start to get the tingly sensation that they’ve fallen asleep, and my neck is the worst part.”

“I start to get kind of sore, and I start to kind of lose focus when I have to sit still. I also tend to get really fidgety which is probably distracting to other people as well as me.”

“Ache in my legs. I start getting off track and wanting to do other stuff like play games on the computer instead of doing my work.”

“If I had been sitting for 2 or 3 hours in the same place without taking a break or moving I would feel uncomfortable. It makes your mind wonder around when your body starts to feel achy. Its better to take a physical break than a mental one.”
