What is the ideal sit-stand ratio?

There is no universally perfect sit-to-stand ratio, but ergonomic experts generally recommend changing positions every 30 to 60 minutes. A common guideline is a 1:1 or 2:1 sitting-to-standing ratio, such as 30 minutes sitting followed by 30 minutes standing, or 60 minutes sitting and 30 minutes standing. The most important factor is avoiding long periods in any single position. Regular posture changes and light movement throughout the day are more beneficial than following a strict schedule, helping improve comfort, circulation, and overall workplace ergonomics.
