Healthy sitting
1. Seat adjustment
- Adjusting the seat clearance to the pedals: Sit with your rear as tight as possible to the backrest.
- You should be able to step through the pedals with the legs slightly angled.
- Adjusting the backrest tilt: Adjust the backrest so that the steering wheel can be reached with slightly angled arms.
- The shoulders should also have backrest-contact when steering.
- Adjusting the seat inclination: Adjust the seat surface inclined slightly upwards so that the thighs rest loosely on the seat surface and the pedals can be pushed through without much effort.
- Adjusting the headrest: To avoid whiplash injury to the cervical spine, there should be no more than 4 cm between the back of the head and the headrest, and the top of the head should be flush with the top of the headrest.
2. Change body posture
- Dynamic sitting means to continuously change your sitting posture and leg position.
- The adjustment of the lumbar support should be changed from time to time in order to prevent fatigue and maintain a relaxed posture.
3. Take breaks
- Take exercise breaks every 2 hours
