Over a 12-month period, the\u00a0standing desk research found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/products\/height-adjustable-desks\/\">height-adjustable standing desks<\/a> are linked to increased productivity, better concentration and improved overall health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes this study different from any other standing-desk study\u2014which is also what made it worthy of peer review and publication\u2014is the combination of its long duration and its inclusion of complementary qualitative data,\u201d says lead researcher Dr. Elizabeth Garland, associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. \u201cMost studies conclude after just a few months. Ours lasted a full year. This allowed us to assess both the objective and subjective health impacts of standing-desk usage, from perceived stress and wellbeing to measurable changes in sedentary behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garland collaborated with a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Center for Active Design (CfAD), global architecture and design firm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.perkinswill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Perkins+Will<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/\">Steelcase<\/a> to carry out the study. Perkins+Will and Steelcase both serve as advisory board members and are designated Champions of Fitwel, a healthy building certification operated by CfAD. Funded by the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Foundation\u2019s Transform grant, study results are published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emeraldinsight.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1108\/IJWHM-10-2017-0078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Journal of Workplace Health Management<\/a> (IJWHM).<\/p>\n<h3>BENEFITS OF STANDING AT WORK<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reducing Sitting <\/strong><br \/>\nPeople who received height-adjustable desks reported a 17 percent reduction in sitting three months into the study, a trend that remained at the one year mark.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feeling Better <\/strong><br \/>\nPeople (47%) with height-adjustable desks reported a significant reduction in upper back, shoulder or neck discomfort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy to Use<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople (88%) with height-adjustable desks reported they were convenient to use after 12 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increasing Productivity<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople (65%) with height-adjustable desks reported increased productivity after one year and also reported better concentration ability. In addition, they said they were more active, refreshed, awake, limber and energetic<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improvements Outside of Work <\/strong><br \/>\nPeople (65%) said height-adjustable desks positively impacted their health outside of the workplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAs the operator of the Fitwel Certification System, we see the continuous demand for research and data to support and drive the implementation of healthy design strategies,\u201d says Abbie Watts, senior researcher at the Center for Active Design, \u201cThe \u2018Stand Up to Work\u2019 study is an important piece of
