How does using a sit-stand desk affect blood circulation?

Extended sitting compresses the back of the thighs against a chair seat, restricting blood flow to the lower extremities — this contributes to the 'dead legs' feeling after long sitting sessions. Alternating to standing allows the blood to flow more freely through the legs and reduces venous pooling. Most circulation benefits come from movement transitions rather than sustained standing, which is why the sit-stand interval (not just standing) is what matters most.
