However, it has been shown that the activation of the core muscles generated by using the ball is no greater than that generated by using a wooden bench without a backrest. Furthermore, the additional energy expenditure generated by using the ball as a chair would be negligible, i.e. approximately 4.1 kcal\/hour more. Finally, prolonged use of the ball as a work chair could lead to fatigue in the lumbar muscles and affect posture.<\/p><div class=\"post-content\"><p>Since the objective of ergonomics is to minimize the physical constraints related to work to increase the comfort of workers in the performance of their tasks, we have certain reservations about the prolonged use of the ball as a work chair.<\/p><p>From an ergonomic point of view, we believe that the use of the ball at the workstation should be limited, given that:<\/p><ul><li>The ball is not adjustable in height. As a result, it will be difficult to ensure that the upper limbs are correctly positioned in relation to the work surface.<\/li><li>The back is not supported. In this context, the abdominals will be put under more strain. However, fatigue will lead to the adoption of a compensatory posture in which the trunk bends forwards, thus increasing the pressure on the discs.<\/li><li>Using a ball in the workplace increases the risk of injury. Since it is unstable and bulky, the ball can cause falls.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db4fd57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db4fd57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In conclusion<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-185e7e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"185e7e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Using a ball as a work chair is not very effective in countering the harmful effects of static posture associated with office work.
