Abstract
Prolonged sedentary work is increasingly discussed as a health risk factor for developing musculoskeletal disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Dynamic workstations are a modern concept to combine light physical activity and desk-based office work. Their effects are evaluated under laboratory conditions but research in occupational settings is limited. This pilot study examined the effects of two dynamic workstations, the Deskbike and the activeLife Trainer regarding aspects of lending and usage and physiological effects. Preliminary results for 8 male subjects show general interest in using these stations and an increased heart rate and energy expenditure compared to working while seated.
