The purpose of this study was to look at the effects that height-adjustable workstations on occupational sitting time and workplace productivity in office workers.

Workplace activity and productivity were then measured four weeks after the installation of height-adjustable workstations. The results were compared to a control group who received no intervention whilst the intervention had the height-adjustable workstations.
