It pinpoints the link between sedentary lifestyles and poor health, and explores the role of office spatial design in encouraging physical activity to promote physical activity, health and prevent disease. The featured research study tracks workers’ movement in a variety of office layouts, addressing possible ways movement-friendly design can co-exist with wireless communication, paperless offices, and new corporate concepts of productivity. From these findings, the author’s conclusions extend public health concepts to recognize that influencing population-wide levels of activity \u003ci\u003ethrough office architectural design alone \u003c\/i\u003emay be possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eSpringerBrief\u003c\/i\u003e is comprised of chapters on :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Physical activity and disease: Theoryand practice\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Space-use and the history of the office building\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Identifying factors of the office architectural design that influence movement,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Interdisciplinary research methods in studying worker physical activity, decision-making and office design characteristics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         The KINESIS model for simulating physical activity in office environments\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe questions and potential for solutions in \u003ci\u003eWorkplace Environmental Design in Architecture for Public Health\u003c\/i\u003e will interest and inform researchers in interdisciplinary topics of public health and architecture as well as graduate and post-graduate students, architects, economists, managers, businesses as well as health-conscious readers. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-04-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319534435\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-53444-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 94\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672860541068,"sku":"9783319534435","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319534435.jpg?v=1776525303","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319534435","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
