Implications of sedentary lifestyle for designing dynamic work in times of digital selfness

Abstract

Physical as well as mental health represents substantial preconditions for people’s well-being as well as productivity. In times of increasing share of skill-intensive work, societies worldwide in this connection are facing a further challenge: the so-called sedentary lifestyle characterizing those behaviors for which energy expenditure is low, including prolonged sitting time in transit, at work, at home and in leisure time. The study displays results and hypotheses for origination of diseases by sedentary lifestyle for the development of an integrated model in order to design dynamic work in times of digital selfness.
