HOW DOES ANTI-FATIGUE MATTING WORK?

Standing for long periods of time on hard floor surfaces is

very uncomfortable and causes physical fatigue. Leg muscles

become totally static and constricted as they work overtime

to keep that person in an upright position. Blood flow is

greatly reduced causing pain and discomfort. Workers who

were forced to stand on hard concrete floors for long periods

of time suffered significant levels of fatigue and discomfort in

the legs, back, and throughout the body. On the other hand,

workers who stood on anti-fatigue mats were able to reduce

the level of fatigue and discomfort by as much as 50%.

If a person is allowed to stand on an anti-fatigue mat, his

muscles will subtly contract and expand as they adjust to the

flexibility of the mat. This muscle movement increases

blood-flow and increases the amount of oxygen reaching the

heart. In that, reducing the fatigue levels of the worker

or office person to a minimal, which translates to higher productivity overall?

DOES ANTI-FATIGUE MATTING REALLY HELP THAT MUCH?

Anti-fatigue mats are some of the best things you can spend your money on these days. They

improve your ergonomics, your body mechanics and they even make you feel better. They are

similar to eye glasses in that they give you an immediate performance boost. Eye glasses

immediately improve you vision. Anti-fatigue mats immediately make the task more

comfortable and efficient (i.e. ergonomically supported) Standing still is harder on your body

than almost anything else. The body is designed to move and be dynamic, not sit there with a

static load pressing down on your joints and crushing your blood vessels flat. That causes a lot of

strain and fatigue on the body and creates pressure points which are really uncomfortable.

An anti-fatigue mat reduces all of that. Even a cheap anti-fatigue mat is most likely worth

it when compared to standing on bare tile, concrete, or any other hard surface.
