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.

Health chief Matt Hancock is a standing desk convert

Health Secretary Matt Hancock says every business should encourage employees to use sit-stand desks, just like him.

“I know from personal experience that having a standing desk can help you get some exercise and improve your productivity at work,” the UK’s Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock told the ISPAH global conference on physical activity this week.

He urged employers to offer staff the chance to use standing desks like our Yo-Yo DESK® in order raise activity levels and avoid the health risks of sedentary working habits.

“Workplaces can make a difference: encouraging breaks, offering standing desks, having standing meetings - which in my experience tend to finish quicker too,” Mr Hancock said.

He also encouraged GPs, schools and parents to take action on the national inactivity crisis: “Our message should be that movement is medicine.”

Musculoskeletal problems are to blame for nine million lost working days every year, with increasing numbers of desk-bound staff suffering health problems exacerbated by spending too much time seated.

In addition to the physical benefits of adopting sit-stand working practices, the mental health benefits are also proven. Staff who alternate between sitting and standing report greater productivity, creativity and motivation, as well as reduced stress and fatigue.

A study of NHS workers reported in the BMJ last week established that those using standing desks were happier and healthier, reporting less anxiety, raised energy levels, greater levels of engagement and improved job performance.

Mr Hancock’s call to action is reported in the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and Metro among others.

How Best to Use a Standing Desk?

Posted by Shopify API on

Posted by Gavin Bradley | September 14 , 2022

How Best to Use a Standing Desk?

Many office workers who spend most of their day at a desk complain of neck, shoulder or back pain. This pain is often caused by poor posture. Slouching over a keyboard can lead to hunched shoulders. This constant tension can cause tight back and shoulder muscles that ache even after the workday ends.

An incorrect desk setup can also lead to muscular pains. Straining to see a monitor that is too far away or tilted at an incorrect angle can lead to neck strain and improper spine alignment. Improper keyboard height can also cause tension in the shoulders from having to hold your arms at an awkward angle to type effectively.

Scientists at Columbia University Medical Centre (CUMC) found that adults who spend one to two hours seated without a break have a higher mortality rate than those who sit for the same amount of time, but for shorter periods.

The researchers at CUMC’s Department of Medicine, based their Get Britain Standing on 8,000 people aged over 45. Some 77% of participants were sedentary for a shocking 12 hours per day, while for some that figure topped 13 hours. The results? People who spent most time seated, often in periods of 60-90 minutes, had an almost two-fold increase in death risk compared with those who sat less and for shorter periods of time.

Public Health England support Active Working guidelines recommending that office workers stand at least two hours a day, and eventually work up to four hours. Many people are now becoming aware of the negative health effects of prolonged sitting, and so may opt for active sitting arrangements.

As a result, stand up desks are becoming increasingly popular in the workplace. A standing desk can relieve most of the that issues that office workers suffer due to the sedentary nature of their job. When properly set up, a standing desk should allow for a 90-degree bend in the arms to the keyboard. The monitor should be tilted upwards at roughly 20 degrees and located about two feet from your eyes. It is also best to stand on a flat yet supportive surface, like an anti-fatigue mat. Sensible footwear, not high heels, also promotes natural posture.We ensure guidelines for best use of standing desks are sent to every Yo-Yo DESK® desk customer. These things combined realign your body to its natural centre and ease tension in the muscles.

Google reports show that the search results for ‘Standing Desk’ have quadrupled since 2012. Furthermore, the wave of interest at shows and industry events, continues to escalate. Simply put, the provision of workplace solutions which help build healthy working habits and increased productivity are becoming front of mind for facilities professionals.

“It’s no longer just the person with the bad back who wants an adjustable workstation, it’s increasingly a must-have for the whole team, or sales team, then marketing team and then everyone wants one. Also, when people move companies, it’s only logical that they take their standing desk habit with them.”

We get brilliant feedback on Yo-Yo DESK® products from office-based workers, but we wanted to know what bloggers would think of our Yo-Yo DESK® product. Here are a few testimonials from some bloggers who tried our products:

Home-based SME blogger Joanne Dewberry knows that people working from home are at high risk of sedentary behaviour when there are no distractions in the form of co-workers or meetings to get you away from your workstation. She found that a Yo-Yo DESK® was the perfect way to bring more activity to her working day.

Joanne says: “I’ve found that standing when I hit the office first thing is probably the most productive part of the day. I’ve just had 7 hours sleep followed by driving the children to school; by standing at my desk to sort emails and dive into my to do list I’m raring to go and full of energy. Previously mornings were met by slumping in my office chair feeling tired and sluggish, drinking vats of coffee. If I’d have known the effects of standing earlier, I’d have been doing it years ago.” Read the blog.

Glasgow-based Stephen Morrison is a civil servant by day, but also posts regular blogs about his fitness journey at howmanymiles.co.uk. Every year, his departmental staff survey requests that standing desks are provided for employees, so he was keen to try one out for himself.

Stephen says: “Firstly and most importantly, I am sitting less. At home, I am now spending at least two hours a day standing at my computer as I write, answer emails and watch TV shows whereas previously I would have been sitting on my backside. “Rather than being hunched over a desk, I now find myself standing straighter, with less rounded shoulders and less curving of my back. I also feel that I am being more productive.” Read the blog.

Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE wins TV doc’s vote for workplace calorie burn

Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE wins TV doc’s vote for workplace calorie burn

Yo-Yo DESK® products prove that staying active at work is the best way of burning off snack calories, confirms a new episode of Channel 4’s popular How to Lose Weight Well show.

Dr Xand van Tulleken asked volunteers to try out our new Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE, Yo-Yo BOARD® 360 balance board, Yo-Yo DESK® standing desk converter.

Each solution led to increased calorie burn over a seated desk - of course! - with the Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE coming out top for both raised energy output AND enjoyability. “All of this is much better than sitting at a desk,” Dr Xand concludes.

The Yo-Yo DESK® mantra of getting “more active, more often” is key to reducing your risk of health conditions including strokes, heart attacks and diabetes, Applied Exercise Science Professor John Buckley, of University Centre Shrewsbury, confirms in the C4 show.

The Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE is the ideal way to increase activity levels during sedentary office hours: even set at the lowest level of resistance (there are eight levels in total), constant slow pedalling allows you to increase your energy expenditure by 50% compared with sitting at your desk.

How to Lose Weight Well’s volunteer Joel confirmed that “rhythmic pedalling” on the Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE was an enjoyable way to burn calories without working up a sweat.

Yo-Yo DESK® MD Gavin Bradley says: “Our Yo-Yo DESK® BIKE is a way to keep blood circulating and promote ongoing activity even when you are seated. It is perfect for meeting rooms and break-out spaces in offices, people who work from home, or those who do extra work at home after the office day is done.”

Responsible Employers rush to equip home-workers for healthier prolonged WFH

The traditional "office empire" is experiencing radical change as we move towards a new future where Working From Home (WFH) becomes the "new norm" for millions of us. More and more companies are completely re-thinking their workplace strategy and this means it is highly probable we will experience a complete flip in the acceptance of WFH as our primary workplace. The future office will be the place we travel into less frequently and more specifically for collaborative-type work.

Responsible businesses are investing in equipping their employees so they can work safely, healthily and more effectively at home - providing standing desk and IT equipment that supports BOTH their productivity and health.

A recent survey commissioned by the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) reveals that although 41% of people have an inappropriate home working environment, an impressive 64% say their employer has invested in enabling them to work from home effectively by providing appropriate equipment.

We have seen this here at Yo-Yo DESK®, where we are delivering home-friendly active workspace solutions to a wave of workers who have been granted company funding to spend on upgrading their domestic desk set-up since lockdown.

We have also been inundated with requests from businesses wanting to ship our popular Yo-Yo DESK® risers, Yo-Yo DESK® PRO range of electric standing desks, anti-fatigue mats and motion stools direct to individual staff working from home.

Enlightened employers clearly recognise the value of providing WFH teams with the tools that will support their productivity and wellbeing. Staff too say it’s what they want: 30% of respondents to the IWFM survey said they wanted more support creating a productive workspace, for example by providing desks and seating solutions.
