dc.description.abstractModern changes in communication, transportation, domestic-intertainment technologies and workplaces are related to a substantial increase of sedentary living.This review was performed to summarize and analyze the studies investigating the impact of decreasing work sedentary time and implementing active workstations to improve work performance. This review was based on relevant articles published in Scopus, Medline, and Web of science from 2007 until 2017. The results of this brief review indicate statistically significant relationships between several interventions for increasing physical activity and employee work performance. Type of intervention and implementation procedure were identified as factors that can determine effects on the job performance. Some studies have shown interventions with positive influence on productivity, others suggest that it is feasible to implement a multi-component intervention such as Stand Up desk with high fidelity with no perceived decrease in productivity. In conclusion, more field studies are necessary to determine work performance and acceptance of dynamic workstations in a real work environment.pt_PT
