Standing requires about 20% more energy than sitting. Over long periods of time, standing can result in poor circulation in the feet and legs.

Standing on a mat stimulates muscle activity in the feet and legs to aid the "venous pump," the interaction of the muscles and veins that force blood back to the heart. If leg muscles stay static, blood flow is greatly reduced causing pain and discomfort. In this instance the heart has to work harder to pump blood through these areas of the body and the body starts to run out of energy.



Anti-fatigue matting increases energy and stamina, eliminates pain and significantly relaxes the lower back.

Cost-effective ergonomics saves money on:

- absenteeism and employee compensation
- improved efficiency and performance
- improved production and product quality
- improved worker moral
- turnover worker rates and retraining
