Hiemstra-Van Mastrigt, S. (author), Groenesteijn, L. (author), Vink, P. (author), Kuijt-Evers, L.F.M. (author)This literature review focused on passenger seat comfort and discomfort in a human-product-context interaction. The relationships between anthropometric variables (human level), activities (context level), seat characteristics (product level) and the perception of comfort and discomfort were studied through mediating variables, such as body...article 2017

Hiemstra-Van Mastright, S. (author), Meyenborg, I. (author), Hoogenhout, M. (author)BACKGROUND: Discomfort increases when duration of sitting is longer. Aircraft passengers are subjected to prolonged sitting in restricted postures, which can cause discomfort. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between duration of sitting and development of discomfort, as well as the influence of different passenger activities. METHODS:...article 2016

(author), O'Gorman, D. (author), Nazare, J.A. (author)Background: Recent research shows that sedentary behaviour is associated with adverse cardio-metabolic consequences even among those considered sufficiently physically active. In order to successfully develop interventions to address this unhealthy behaviour, factors that influence sedentariness need to be identified and fully understood. The...article 2016

Hendriksen, I.J.M. (author), Bernaards, C.M. (author), Steijn, W.M.P. (author), Hildebrandt, V.H. (author)Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the longitudinal relationship between sitting time on a working day and vitality, work performance, presenteeism, and sickness absence. Methods: At the start and end of a five-month intervention program at the workplace, as well as 10 months after the intervention, sitting time and work-related...article 2016

(author), Holdsworth, M. (author), Owen, N. (author), Brug, J. (author), Cardon, G. (author)Background Ecological models are currently the most used approaches to classify and conceptualise determinants of sedentary behaviour, but these approaches are limited in their ability to capture the complexity of and interplay between determinants. The aim of the project described here was to develop a transdisciplinary dynamic framework,...article 2016

(author)Objective This review addresses the effectiveness of workplace interventions that are implemented during productive work and are intended to change workers` SB and/or PA. Methods We searched Scopus for articles published from 1992 until 12 March 2015. Relevant studies were evaluated using the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies and...article 2016

Schreuder, E. (author), Hoeksma, M.R. (author), Smeets, M.A.M. (author), Semin, G.R. (author)This study reports an examination of the internal clock model, according to which subjective time duration is influenced by attention and arousal state. In a time production task, we examine the hypothesis that an arousing odor and an upright body posture affect perceived duration. The experimental task was performed while participants were...article 2014

(author)Sedentary work entails health risks. Dynamic (or active) workstations, at which computer tasks can be combined with physical activity, may reduce the risks of sedentary behaviour. The aim of this study was to evaluate short term task performance while working on three dynamic workstations: a treadmill, an elliptical trainer, a bicycle ergometer...article 2014

Ellegast, R.P. (author), Kraft, K. (author), Groenesteijn, L. (author), Krause, F. (author), Berger, H. (author), Vink, P. (author)Prolonged and static sitting postures provoke physical inactivity at VDU workplaces and are therefore discussed as risk factors for the musculoskeletal system. Manufacturers have designed specific dynamic office chairs featuring structural elements which promote dynamic sitting and therefore physical activity. The aim of the present study was to...article 2012

Zenk, R. (author), Franz, M. (author), Bubb, H. (author), Vink, P. (author)For car manufacturers, seat comfort is becoming more important in distinguishing themselves from their competitors. Therefore, many studies on participative seat comfort are carried out. In this paper, an objective assessment approach is reported which evaluates the concept of "optimal load distribution", based on the identification of a close...article 2012

TNO Arbeid (author), van Rosmalen, D.M.K. (author), Groenesteijn, L. (author), Boess, S. (author), Vink, P. (author)This paper reports on a design and evaluation of a chair in which users can sit comfortably while watching a television screen. The design of this chair is based on requirements that were gathered from three studies with endusers in which their needs and wishes for this chair are explored. These three types of research study show that the chair...article 2009

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)TNO and BMA Ergonomics are developing a so-called smart office chair. This chair is supposed to provide feedback on postures and movements during seated office work. The feedback should enable the user (i.e. the worker doing VDU tasks) to perform his or her work with less discomfort and in a more productive way. One part of this project is a...conference paper 2008

Jans, M.P. (author), Proper, K.I. (author), Hildebrandt, V.H. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Background: Sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for excess body weight and other health problems. There are no published data on sitting time at work, or how this is related to occupation and sector (branch of business). No published study has shown whether extended sitting at work is compensated for by sitting less during leisure...article 2007

Design: Secondary analysis of data from a large trial. Setting: Primary care midwifery practices in the Netherlands. Population: About 1646 low...article 2007
