Much of the reporting says (I summarise) &quot;sit-stand work stations aren&#x27;t worthwhile&quot; but that&#x27;s not what the original study says. It says any stationary low-energy position is likely bad because it&#x27;s stationary and low-energy. But the key difference between a sit-stand station and a chaired (or fixed standing) is that one isn&#x27;t in one stationary position all the time. Rather, the position varies throughout the day.<p>&lt;digression&gt; And in my case, I notice that when I stand I walk over to the window and curse bugs a lot more often than when I sit. Is that just me? It&#x27;s not exercise, just two steps each way. Or does the lack of a chair reduce the initial friction moving two steps for many people? &lt;&#x2F;digression&gt;<p>The original study is at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ije.oxfordjournals.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;early&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;09&#x2F;ije.dyv191.full" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ije.oxfordjournals.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;early&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;09&#x2F;ije.d...</a>
