“…The findings revealed that excessive periods of sitting among office workers could contribute to fatigue symptoms of MSD in various regions of the body, particularly in the upper extremities, neck, shoulders, and lower back. Fourteen studies (40% of all studies considered) showed that participants worked an average of 6.29 hours during an 8-hour work shift in a sitting position where females have been shown to sit longer than males (6.47 vs. 6.07 hours/day, respectively) [ 2 , 37 , 63 ]. For office workers, the prevalence of MSD in the shoulder and cervical spine has been reported to range from 40 to 80%.…”

“…The lifestyle of people has changed vividly over the centuries. Initially, various work conditions were observed in the workplace, but today most people are stuck in the same place forever [ 1 , 2 ]. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are frequently connected with ergonomic risk factors such as contact stress and uncomfortable posture (changes in normal working posture).…”

Background. Work-associated upper limb and neck disorders are common occupational disorders throughout the world. These disorders are usually observed more in workers who spend a long time sitting, referred to as sedentary activity (SA). The immediate and distorted risk of sedentary-related problems was considered high in Europe, Australia, and the United States. Even though mediation is convenient, it is likely to reduce office workers’ risks of developing cervical and upper body pain due to sedentary work. This systematic review addresses risk factors and evaluates the relationship between SA and upper body disorders in office workers (i.e., shoulder and neck/head). Methods. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for articles published between January 2010 and August 2021 in the English language. The three keywords “sedentary,” “upper body elements,” and “work” (and their derivatives) were searched to identify studies and carry out this systematic review. The articles were searched so that all three keywords or at least a derivation of each keyword should appear. Findings. Of the 40 articles that met the enclosure criteria, 32 studies examined the association of SA and upper body elements during both office and computer work. However, three articles were evaluated in the sit-stand work environment, and in the remaining five studies, one was evaluated during teaching, two during hospital work, and two during mixed working conditions. Conclusions. Research related to SA focuses mainly on extended risk factors, but there was no focus on other aspects, such as muscle and tendon contractions. As there is a convincing connection between SA and the upper body, our close examination identifies the need to institutionalize a system for collecting, analyzing, and describing the impact and short-term effects of SA on the upper body. Additionally, some suggestions were made to minimize the risk in a sedentary working environment.

“…This is critical since today's schoolchildren will become tomorrow's adults. Consequently, many researchers have investigated the relationship between sedentary position and musculoskeletal discomfort on the impact of students in the classroom (Azuan et al, 2010;Grimes and Leggs, 2004;Guirado et al, 2021;Ismail et al, 2009;Zeverdegani, Yazdi, and MollaAghaBabaee, 2021).…”

Günümüzde yeşil binalar, enerji ve kaynak kullanımındaki verimlilikleri nedeniyle popüler hale gelmiştir. Yeşil binalar söz konusu olduğunda, rahat, sağlıklı ve üretken bir çalışma ortamı oluşturmak da aynı derecede önemlidir. Sınıfın fiziksel ortamının akademik performansı ve kas-iskelet rahatsızlığını etkilediği yaygın olarak bilinmektedir. Öğrencilerin, sınıflardaki fiziksel ortamın, yeşil binadaki Uluslararası Kıbrıs Üniversitesi'nde rapor ettikleri kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları ve akademik performansları üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin algılarını belirlemek için iki bölümden oluşan bir anket kullanıldı. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin sınıfın fiziksel ortamına ilişkin algılarının eğitim almaya tamamen uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. Demografik veriler ile kategorik değişkenler arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığının belirlenmesinde Kruskal-Wallis H testi ve Post hoc analiz kullanıldı. Sonuçlar, yaş, ağırlık, boy, eğitim düzeyi ve not ortalamasının sınıf tasarımının kas-iskelet rahatsızlığı üzerindeki etkisini etkilediğini göstermiştir. Benzer şekilde, sınıf tasarımının akademik performans üzerindeki etkisinde boy, eğitim düzeyi ve not ortalamasının etkili faktörler olduğu bulunmuştur. Bulgular, öğrencilerin sınıftaki fiziksel rahatsızlıklarının boyun, sağ omuz, üst sırt ve sağ ön kol bölgesinde yoğunlaştığını göstermiştir.
