Abstract
A model of fatigue is proposed based on permeability changes in the synaptic membranes and a feedback regulation due to metabolic changes in the working organ as well as in the whole organism. The model is described by mathematical equations which permit its quantitative study by means of a digital computer.

Office ergonomics training and a sit-stand workstation: effects on musculoskeletal and visual symptoms and performance of office workers.

TL;DR: The ability to mitigate symptoms, change behaviors and enhance performance through training combined with a sit-stand workstation has implications for preventing discomforts in office workers.

Lower extremity mechanics and energy cost of walking in high-heeled shoes.

TL;DR: Analysis of the biomechanical data revealed that ankle plantar flexion, kneeflexion, vertical ground reaction force, and the maximum anteroposterior braking force increased as a function of heel height.

The effects of walking and cycling computer workstations on keyboard and mouse performance.

TL;DR: Although active workstations may result in some decrement in performance, their ability to increase daily energy expenditure may make them a feasible solution for workplace inactivity.

Changing the way we work: elevating energy expenditure with workstation alternatives.

TL;DR: A simple taxonomy to facilitate classification and study of workstation alternatives is introduced, the diversity of research undertaken to date related to energy balance is cataloged, and the gaps and opportunities for a research agenda for work station alternatives moving forward are summarized.

Sit-stand workstations and impact on low back discomfort: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In a sedentary population, changing posture may reduce the chance of developing low back pain in workers, and the literature on sit-stand workstations and low back discomfort does not adequately address the dosage of sit- stand time required to help reduce pain.
