Sit-Stand Desks — Expert Answer
Does using a sit-stand desk have any cardiovascular health benefits?
Observational studies have linked prolonged sitting with increased cardiovascular disease risk, and standing intermittently can slightly elevate heart rate and caloric burn (roughly 8–10 extra calories per hour versus sitting). The cardiovascular benefit of a sit-stand desk alone is modest — walking 10 minutes has a bigger impact. The real value is reducing the 'sitting disease' risk factor accumulated over years, especially for desk workers who sit 8+ hours daily.
