Upright-working has been proven to benefit health by combating the negative effects of physical inactivity. However, long-term commitment to static standing regimens may be limited due to symptoms of musculoskeletal fatigue that may develop during prolonged static standing in the absence of facilitated weight shifting. We propose a dynamic standing approach (working while standing accompanied by small periodic stepping movements) as a more tolerable and thereby more applicative lifestyle modification.
