Society has become aware that sitting for long periods of time is bad. While researchers have shown that sitting is linked with higher risk of developing diseases and earlier death in the long-term, relatively little is known about the short-term effects. Sitting involves a great amount of bending in the spine that directly affects the muscles, nerves and joints of the low back. Changes to these structures can lead to injury resulting in significant impacts on quality of life, the ability to work and productivity levels. It is also interesting that, within the healthy population, some individuals seem to be able to sit extensively without issue whereas others cannot.

社会已经意识到长时间坐着是不好的。虽然研究人员已经表明，长期坐着与更高的患病风险和更早的死亡有关，但对短期影响的了解相对较少。坐涉及大量的脊柱弯曲，直接影响下背部的肌肉，神经和关节。这些结构的变化可能导致伤害，从而对生活质量、工作能力和生产力水平产生重大影响。同样有趣的是，在健康人群中，有些人似乎能够毫无问题地坐着，而另一些人则不能。
