Do energy expenditure differences across work postures influence cognitive processing speed? A counter-balanced randomised cross-over trial.

Background: Anecdotal evidence links occupational sedentary behaviour, low energy expenditure (EE) and cognitive dysfunction. Nevertheless, EE across different work postures including active workstations remains unclear and its influence on cognitive processing speed is yet to be established.

Objective: We aimed to investigate differences in EE across various work postures and its influence on cognitive processing speed.
