Abstract

Objective: Analyze the promotion effect and feasibility of active workstations such as ' vertical desks ', ' movable desks and chairs ', and ' adjustable workstations ' on the health of college students, and explore whether they are beneficial to students. Increase physical activity time and improve cognitive ability.

Methods: According to the principle of PICO, a unified literature screening standard was designed to retrieve relevant foreign literatures, and finally 8 research literatures were included. Meta-analysis of some outcome indicators was performed using RevMan5.2 software, and the outcome indicators that could not be quantified were determined to be analyzed by systematic evaluation.

Results: Active workstations have played a relatively positive role in reducing sedentary time and increasing physical activity, and can promote students to improve classroom attention and reduce fatigue. In addition, the feasibility analysis results obtained for the active workstation in this study are generally good, so we believe that the feasibility of the strategy is high.

Conclusion: The introduction of active workstation is an effective measure to promote students ' physical activity, reduce sedentary time and improve cognitive ability.
