To discuss the effects of sitting on posture, we first need to ask ourselves what the proper posture is.2. The Commission shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Rural Affairs
Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. It is therefore important to remember, first of all, to learn to work properly in motion patterns, to take care of mobility, stability, strength and balance of tension.3. The right attitude, that's what it is
First of all, the spine should be positioned in a neutral position, keeping all natural curves in place, without lifting or deepening them, the head above the shoulders, and the shoulder in one line with the hips. Taking a posture in accordance with these guidelines ensures that the movement will be performed correctly, which will avoid overloading and tissue wear. What should the correct body posture look like? The hips should be above the hip joint.4. Negative effects of improper seating position
The spine is unable to carry loads abnormally for long periods of time, which is a direct cause of muscle and joint pain, tension, restrictions in range of motion, and even more serious injuries. This leads to a decrease in pelvic tension as well as impairment. Albarrati 2018). Lack of physical activity causes the body to spend very few calories on physical activity. Additionally, adults should also do exercise that increases muscle activity at least twice a week. These activities, contrary to the law of physiology, can lead to a significant reduction in the amount of calories consumed by the head during exercise.5. What to do to reduce the negative effects of sitting
To take care of your health and fitness, take a few minutes break after each hour of sitting, get up, move around, do a few exercises. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, go shopping on foot, park your car from work, talk on the phone and walk around the house. You should also do regular activity in the form of walking, cycling, swimming or strength training, which will help you to strengthen your overall movement and maintain health and performance for years to come. Unfortunately, this is not always possible these days.
