Why should we have active breaks?

We have all heard “I have back pain”, “my arms hurt” or simply “I am stressed”. These ailments mostly occur during long work days, where we spend more time sitting than doing any other task, and as a consequence our physical well-being and performance are affected. The risk factors that we find at work are repetitive tasks,office furniturenot suitable and environmental conditions, situations that can cause a significant physical load that will trigger muscle and mental injuries and other diseases. According to what is recommended at Coimpormedica Ltda, to reduce these risks, it is recommended to take active breaks twice a day during working hours, in addition to 5-minute breaks every hour of work. All of these activities serve to generate more energy, improve performance and reduce muscle pain through different techniques and exercises that can be performed even in the same workplace, for example: turning the torso from left to right, stretching the arms from one side to the other, moving the head to the sides or moving the wrists circularly. Among the benefits of active breaks according to the Healthy Living Center blog are: - Reduces stress. - Promotes the change of postures and work routine. - Reduces joint and muscle injuries. - Increases self-esteem and ability to concentrate during the work day. - Reduces the risk of occupational diseases. - Improves performance and increases productivity.

Along with active breaks, ergonomics is another very important issue that is related to the health of workers.
