Buried in the article:
"any posture held for too long causes problems”
"that populations that spend excessive time in a deep squat (hours per day), do have a higher incidence of knee and osteoarthritis issues."
So squatting is worse than sitting, but moving is better than either.
I’m 30 years into my career as a keyboard jockey and the main principle that works for me is to change things up throughout the day and week. Having more viable positions to switch to is a net positive. I’m not looking for one perfect position anymore.
I'm just imagining trying to squat in front of a PC on the floor now.
