Reduce sedentary behaviour in desk based office work by means of a novel ergonomic office chair

This study demonstrats the limitations of current protocols used to measure sedentary behavior in office occasions. We therefore started a project to develop an evidence-based protocol for assessing physical (in)-activity and sedentary behavior in desk based office work, and ask you to share your experience with us. Background & Aim Office worker spend most of their working day sitting, primarily static (Chau et al. 2013). Although preferable from an ergonomic perspective, current ergonomic chairs are not known to promote active sitting (Ellegast et al. 2012).
