One of the major causes of STRESS; is confinement to
one place and restriction on mobility. Most of us;
especially the shopkeepers, clerks, typists, accountants;
and most importantly the students and teachers; in
nurseries, kindergarten schools, primary and secondary
schools, colleges and universities; are involved in
sedentary work. They suffer from what is called
HYPOKINETIC STRESS.
Most of the time; we, who live sedentary life; are sitting
on ground or in chairs; and our legs are idle, neither
supporting nor balancing our body. They either hang
from the chairs passively or are resting on the footrest
under the table. Sometimes we are merely standing if we
work as peons.
