Improving ergonomics through smart adjustments in educational and cultural facilities.
The classroom is the workplace of the teacher and the place for students' learning. An ergonomically based setting is essential for creating an environment that supports learning and health.
The choice of furniture is important. In other words, it is necessary to consider the individual as a whole (age, size, ease of movement). Research has shown that particularly for children who need to expend energy, being stationary can limit concentration. Furthermore, children grow rapidly, and it is rare for their body size to remain unchanged for long periods. Therefore, stationary furniture is generally not suitable for children. Dynamic workstations adapt to the body size and mobility of everyone. With variable height elements, anyone can easily concentrate and find an ergonomically based position that provides maximum comfort. Height-adjustable desks allow for standing work. This has a positive impact on energy levels. Additionally, it has been proven that standing up several times a day can reduce fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders (especially neck stiffness and lower back pain). This is a significant factor, especially when it is known that classes can be stressful for students. Therefore, it is recommended to provide flexible equipment that allows for alternating between sitting and standing positions, enabling physical and intellectual agility.
