The "evolutionary hand" may have been completely unaware that humans spent thousands of years standing up and finally chose to sit down.
Most people sit for eight hours a day, stay in front of the computer from morning to night after working at home, bone pain, muscle pain, stiffness and tightness in the entire back, and a grade 10 fracture when suddenly get up... Sitting for long periods of time can not only cause cardiovascular problems, but also muscle and bone diseases.
However, our bodies, are not designed to stay still for long periods of time, whether sitting, standing or lying down. After prolonged sitting, the spine curves unnaturally and irreversibly.
Thus, the "ergonomic chair" came into being.
Ergonomic chair is derived from the office chair, known as "a qualitative leap in the history of the development of seating." The nature of its design is to try to fit the natural shape of the general human body as much as possible, to minimize the fatigue caused by long-term sitting.
Reduce the load on leg muscles and prevent unnatural body postures through height adjustment. Headrest design, S-shaped chair back, waist pillow, etc. support the body and reduce energy consumption. In general, it can correct the sitting posture and reduce the fatigue of sitting for a long time, thereby reducing the pressure on the muscle and the burden on the blood system.
For now, no chair is perfect for people who sit for eight or more hours a day. In addition to choosing a good ergonomic chair, what we can do to reduce the harm caused by prolonged sitting is to control time, pay attention to posture, and strengthen exercise.
