Abstract
In the last quarter century, deskless offices have become the norm in the worldwide workforce. Sitting for lengthy periods of time is bad for your health and causes pain, which in turn reduces your productivity. There is a serious epidemic of childhood and adolescent sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity in India. Most kids and teens nowadays pass the time by playing video games, surfing the web, or watching television. These behaviours contribute to the epidemic of childhood obesity. This is due in part to the fact that kids these days spend less time being active and more time in front of screens.
