Standing at work makes for better, happier, healthier workers: OFFICIAL

BMJ reports positive results from year-long study of standing desk usage by UK health workersIt’s official: using a Yo-Yo DESK® at work WILL improve both your health and your productivity.A study by health researchers at the University of Leicester has established that NHS staff who used sit-stand desks for a year experienced benefits including:

  • reduced sitting time
  • improved job performance
  • better engagement levels
  • less work-related fatigue
  • better quality of life
  • reduced anxiety

The workers were supported with advice – similar to the Yo-Yo DESK® user guidelines that we supply to every customer – along with targets and occasional info boosters to help remind them to make the regular switch between sitting and standing. Results were checked at three, six and 12 months.

Effectiveness of the Stand More AT Work (SMArT) standing desk intervention is reported in the British Medical Journal as well as on the BBC website and Daily Telegraph, amongst others.

Our stylish, affordable Yo-Yo DESK® is the UK’s best-selling way to incorporate the active working habit in your working day. Easy to adjust, with 15 height settings, the Yo-Yo DESK® is just one of the wide range of flexible standing desk converter options we offer to suit all needs, preferences and budgets. Or try the executive, electrically-operated Yo-Yo DESK® PRO for a smooth powered option.
