bedding use.Tests like these give you some guidelines on the free-stall surfaces I’m just asking, and not rhetorically. (standing in holding area, being milked in parlour).The table on this page shows a classification of the 11 free-stall farm in Belgium between December 1997 and April 1998.

Hence, from an energy-expenditure standpoint, “sedentary” and “stationary” must be distinguished from each other.The research suggests that, indeed, they must be distinguished from “inactive”, for the latter, a concept at the core of  inactivity physiology studies, is the decisive determinant of the risks and rewards associated with your “postural allotments”—how and how long you sit, stand, lie down, recline, move or otherwise deploy your limbs and other body parts.In particular, any temptation to equate “sedentary”, “inactive” and “stationary” must be resisted and overcome.The differences must be noted, especially to the extent that any presumed equivalence obscures the fact that there can be notable differences in the health outcomes for those who are totally motionless while stationary and those who burn calories in subtle but frequent NEAT movements and exertions.These include exertions such as twisting, stooping, bending or otherwise contracting skeletal muscles while standing in one place, or As for sitting, the question becomes, “Is sitting unhealthy because of its typically low level of muscular activity and/or because of its high levels of strain placed on structures such as the spinal column, blood vessels and heart?”There’s a very important additional question:  But what if the stresses and strains of sitting are also emotional-psychological and variable from person to person?Physically, that is clearly so, as anyone with a herniated disc will tell you.One extremely important caveat and theoretical possibility in investigating the impact of posture on health is that I have no medical background, but it seems fair to ask whether or not the physical, psychological and even the social stress of being forced to adopt a specific work posture, e.g., to sit at a desk all day, may adversely impact mental and physical health over the long run —for example, by elevating and sustaining stress-hormone levels, e.g., of cortisol, which is implicated in cardiovascular disease when chronically elevated.Likewise, differences in body size and weight may translate into different stress levels for different people, e.g., because of differences in degree of lower body compression as torso weight varies.I believe that is why, unlike much smaller people, I could never comfortably kneel in the end-of-class meditative “seiza” [which sounds like "seizure"] posture at karate classes in Japan: As compared with a karate-kid’s size, load and anatomy, my longer femur plus heavy torso meant more strain on my knee ligaments and agonizing discomfort compounded by the stress of it’s having been mandatory.What comes to mind in this connection is the well-confirmed connection, e.g., as identified in the research of Excess load and/or insufficient latitude spell cardiovascular trouble.Since being forced to sit or stand by infrastructure, circumstances or company rules means diminished latitude, is it not possible that involuntariness, as a risk factor, contributes to heightened health risks?From this standpoint, it may be that an environment, job or boss that requires staff to permanently recline or stand might be just as psychologically stressful and therefore, over the long run, as deleterious to health as requiring them to sit.Suppose the assigned posture is uncomfortable in any sense—including socially and psychologically, as well as physically, e.g., because it is perceived as coerced, demeaning or inappropriate, and especially if the denial of choice, the involuntariness of the posture, is experienced as stressful.In this connection, it must be asked whether being “forced” to work in any given posture is less likely to be stressful if it is one’s preferred posture.I know people who actually like sitting, dislike reclining, e.g., because it makes them sleepy or unfocused, and who therefore will never know the stress I feel in being forced to sit—which, because of the physical discomfort in my case, makes the involuntariness all the more resented and stressful.As for experimental evidence of the effects of a lack of postural latitude, in one of our conversations, Dr. Hamilton mentioned that in at least one animal-restraint study, the measurable stress effects of involuntariness were localized and limited to the muscles physically restrained—without suggesting any inference to complex psychological, physiological or social human responses to workplace postural constraints and lack of choice.However, if involuntariness in “postural allocation” is a human stress factor, the implication for inactivity studies is that the cardiovascular damage may have psychological as well as physiological factors that need to be teased from or ruled out in the research.What we find naturally and personally comfortable may provide a crucial clue: If Mother Nature designed us to sit at a desk eight hours a day, she wouldn’t have punished us with lower backaches, stiff necks, tight shoulders, leg cramps, fidgeting, uncontrollable urges to take breaks, varicose veins, pronounced distractibility and—perhaps worst of all—heightened risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death.That’s probably why I hate sitting upright and immobilized—loathe it and always have, because it is, for me, so unnatural and uncomfortable.My credo and style: If I’m vertical, I’m moving.

Four occupancy levels can be distinguished: lower than 20 per cent; With the approval of my GP, I have recently added a kitchen timer, set to 30-minutes, for twice per hour mini-workouts, e.g., squats, push-ups, for about two minutes. A recent study let cows decide on the comfort level of several popular mats and mattresses.
