N2 - The aim was to conduct a rapid review of using standing desks on office workers. The search was conducted in seven databases with a range of eight years from January 1st, 2015, to July 19th, 2023, and a complementary search looking for studies done by the top 4 public health. The total number of articles identified in the preliminary search was 329 (273 after removing duplicates). Finally, 20 articles met the quality assessment. One common alternative is the implementation of height-adjustable standing desks considering that sitting for too long is bad, but it is unclear if standing is better. It was found that there is no defined information about which specific sit-stand regimen is better and it is needed to verify the impact of sit-stand workstations in other body regions and the variables that should be evaluated.
