In order to reduce sedentary behaviour at work, research has examined the effectiveness of active workstations. However, despite their relevance in replacing conventional desks, the comparison between types of active workstations and their respective benefits remains unclear. The purpose of this review article is thus to compare the benefits between standing, treadmill and cycling workstations. Search criteria explored Embase, PubMed and Web of Science databases. The review included studies concerning adults using at least two types of active workstations, evaluating biomechanical, physiological work performance and/or psychobiological outcomes. Twelve original articles were included. Treadmill workstations induced greater movement/activity and greater muscular activity in the upper limbs compared with standing workstations. Treadmill and cycling workstations resulted in elevated heart rate, decreased ambulatory blood pressure and increased energy expenditure during the workday compared with standing workstations. Treadmill workstations reduced fine motor skill function (ie, typing, mouse pointing and combined keyboard/mouse tasks) compared with cycling and standing workstations. Cycling workstations resulted in improved simple processing task speeds compared with standing and treadmill workstations. Treadmill and cycling workstations increased arousal and decreased boredom compared with standing workstations. The benefits associated with each type of active workstation (eg, standing, treadmill, cycling) may not be equivalent. Overall, cycling and treadmill workstations appear to provide greater short-term physiological changes than standing workstations that could potentially lead to better health. Cycling, treadmill and standing workstations appear to show short-term productivity benefits; however, treadmill workstations can reduce the performance of computer tasks.
为了减少工作中的久坐行为，研究已经检查了活动工作站的有效性。然而，尽管它们在替代传统办公桌方面具有相关性，但不同类型的活动工作站及其各自的益处之间的比较仍然不清楚。因此，本文的目的是比较站立式、跑步机式和自行车式工作站的益处。搜索标准探索了 Embase、PubMed 和 Web of Science 数据库。本综述包括至少使用两种类型的活动工作站的成年人的研究，评估了生物力学、生理工作性能和/或心理生物学结果。共纳入了 12 篇原始文章。与站立式工作站相比，跑步机工作站能引起更大的运动/活动量和上肢更大的肌肉活动。与站立式工作站相比，跑步机和自行车工作站在工作日内导致心率升高、步行血压降低和能量消耗增加。与站立式和自行车式工作站相比，跑步机工作站降低了精细运动技能功能（即打字、鼠标点击和组合键盘/鼠标任务）。与站立式和跑步机工作站相比，自行车工作站提高了简单处理任务的速度。与站立式工作站相比，跑步机和自行车工作站增加了觉醒度，减少了无聊感。每种类型的活动工作站（如站立式、跑步机式、自行车式）带来的好处可能并不相同。总体而言，与站立式工作站相比，跑步机和自行车工作站似乎能带来更大的短期生理变化，这可能会带来更好的健康。自行车、跑步机和站立式工作站似乎显示出短期的生产力效益；然而，跑步机工作站可能会降低计算机任务的性能。
