Less exhausted after work
2017-05-16Results from Field trial in Finland 2017
The field trial hosted by the insurance company LähiTapiola main office in Espoo Helsinki (www.lahitapiola.fi). The field trial was headed by Tuukka Nieminen in Motivire OY (www.motivire.fi).
- 70 Participants filled in a questionnaire at September 1st 2016.
- They left their former office chair behind and used Backapp Chair and Backapp 360
- After 6 months, they reported effects of Backapp Chair and Backapp 360.
In the questionnaire, they were asked:
How often do you feel exhausted after work?
- Frequently/every day
- Quite often
- Every now and then
- Infrequently
- Never
Before the trial 34 of the 70 participants reported that they infrequently or never were exhausted after work (4 & 5). After sitting on the Backapp chair and standing on Backapp 360 for 6 months 48 of 70 persons reported that they infrequently or never were exhausted after work (4 & 5); 50% had increased to 69,6%!
If you are exhausted after work your ability to work is reduced. How much this is impacting the ability to work during working hours is difficult to estimate, but it is negative.
We have to study this more in scientific studies!
