Too much sitting, especially at work, is now recognised as a health risk. Studies reveal a treadmill desk or walking pad can have long-term benefits, such as fat loss, and lowered cholesterol and blood pressure.
Learning outcomes:
  • Understand the health risks associated with sedentary work
  • Describe the positive attributes of desk treadmills and walking pads
  • Identify alternate activities to desk treadmills and walking pads in improving workplace health
  • Develop strategies to improve workplace health and safety in sedentary work environments
