Sažetak
Sitting excessively on a chair that is not user- friendly or sitting in a position that is not favourable to our body is detrimental to human health in the long-term. The paper shows that active sitting, which has been imposed as a lifeline in recent years, does not justify this role. The paper is based on literature searched through available databases. Articles related to work chairs that have built-in sensors for detecting seating patterns and habits are included. Some papers are based on measuring the contact pressure between the body and the chair and reading the seating position. A number of papers are based on the fact that in addition to detecting body pressure and defining positions, they also detect other parameters, such as heart rate, activities of certain muscle groups, etc., and showing how certain postures during sitting affect, for example, the heart rate. Based on that information and using algorithms, the user can be instructed in a less harmful way of sitting, without compromising the comfort of sitting.
