Intelligent Training
for sedentary work
SDU Moves Recommends 'Intelligent Training'
Your body is not designed to sit still for many hours during the day. The concept of 'Intelligent Training' provides a set of exercises, which will help you prevent and relief pain, as well as improve your general wellbeing during sedentary work.
The set was prepared by the Research Unit for Physical Activity and Health at Work (PAW). Headed by Professor Karen Søgaard, the PAW team consists of several leading experts in this particular field. The research unit was tasked with creating the best, most effective and useful (keep your regular clothes on) training programmes with a special focus on employees with sedentary work, such as students, office staff or researchers. The exercises can help prevent and alleviate problems with the neck, shoulders, back and more.
