Summary

This study looks at how four different ways of sitting—from a regular chair to an exercise chair used actively—affect your muscles, seated pressure, thinking speed, and calorie burn. Healthy adults aged 18 to 70 will try each sitting position while researchers measure muscle activity, tissue pressure, cognitive performance, and energy use. The goal is to understand whether active sitting offers benefits over passive sitting for both body and mind.
