Why move more?
Risks from sitting still for long, uninterrupted periods.
In desk-based work, an average of 75% of the working day is spent sitting without the musculoskeletal system being active. Muscle inactivity leads to low energy consumption and disruption of sugar and fat metabolism. The risk for the following chronic diseases increases:
Diabetes mellitus type 2
Cardiovascular diseases
Certain types of cancer, e.g. intestinal cancer
Musculoskeletal complaints
Fatigue
Depression
The health risks can only be offset to a limited extent by sports activities. Program participation is therefore also worthwhile for athletic teams who sit a lot at work.
