Workstations for correct sitting posture
ARE you aware that on average a child spends about 10 to 12 hours studying? Do they often hunch? It is a hard habit to break when it comes to bad posture.
Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities.
Providing your kids with the correct set of study desk and chair is important to encourage good sitting posture and protect their eyes.
Myopia, being the common eye problem children suffer from, is due to near work and study of school-goers. With the Tomato KidZ Intelligent Workstation, here is what it can do for the child:
– Keeps your book at a 45° angle to prevent strain on your neck and eyes when reading.
– Provides sufficient light which is suitable for reading and low UV radiation LED to protect your eyes.
– Supports the natural curves of your back. – Keeps you upright and comfortable. – Keeps your knee and hip joints at a 90° angle to prevent any strain on joints.
– Keeps your feet comfortably flat on the floor for good blood circulation.
The Intelligent series is suitable for children aged three onwards or of height 90cm to about 170cm.
With its adjustable features, parents can rest assured that this amazing innovation will help give your child a good head start in maintaining good posture.
University workstation
For teens, the University Series was recently launched with its feature “Sit or stand, keeping you in correct posture always”, which allows people who are 170cm and above to benefit from this adjustable workstation.
This workstation enables users from a sitting position to a standing position.
Why a standing desk, you may ask. Did you know that too much sitting can affect your studies or career?
When you sit too long your body becomes lethargic and this affects your quality of work.
On average we are sitting about 10 hours a day, which is more than the time we sleep.
The human body is not designed to sit for such a long time and slowly this lifestyle will take a toll on us.
Let’s take a look at how the University Series can help us:
– Netting chair seat that allows good ventilation for your back and buttocks.
