The risks of sitting too long - that's why you need a height-adjustable gaming desk!

The concrete advantages of the height-adjustable desk when gaming go far beyond the health aspects. But first, let's take a look at the downsides of sitting in front of a screen for a long time and why you should do something about it. You can also transfer this to your working life, for example, because almost 80 percent of all employees in Germany sit too long every day.

Specifically, the following problems can arise:

• Back pain – Leaning forward or leaning back increases the forces on the spine, which can lead to pain
• Neck Discomfort - If you adjust your screen too high or too low, you may need to stretch or bend your neck to see properly. This results in a higher and dangerous load
• Increased risk of diabetes and obesity - sitting for long periods slows down your circulation and you burn fewer calories. This increases the risk of diabetes and obesity
• Joint problems - Sitting still for a long time means that the joints are not moved and "rust". This can lead to pain or deformation
• Less Concentration - If you sit for too long, your blood won't circulate properly throughout your body. For example, not enough blood gets to your head and you have reduced performance

These are all reasons why you should use a height-adjustable gaming desk. In the following paragraphs we look at how you can adjust this specifically to you and how it affects your performance. In addition to gaming, the height-adjustable desk is also indispensable at your workplace - you can find specific examples of all areas of application on the desqup website !

We look forward to your visit, but now to the specific advantages of the height-adjustable desk when gaming!

Better performance with the height-adjustable gaming desk

When you sit, your blood flow and circulation are not stimulated and your blood stays in the same places in the body. Due to the lack of movement, the blood supply in your head is not stimulated either, which limits your concentration and your performance. After just 30 minutes of sitting at a time, you will notice the first limitations, for example your focus is fading. Experts recommend never sitting for more than two hours at a time, regardless of the activity. Therefore, the height-adjustable gaming desk is probably the right solution for you.

With a height-adjustable gaming desk, your body is always moving without you noticing. You move minimally and thus stimulate blood flow and your circulation. This way you stay focused longer and can get your best performance in the game, and you also effectively support the maintenance of your joints. Your muscles cramp less often and you don't give tension a chance.

By choosing a height-adjustable gaming desk, you support your performance and get the most out of your hobby. At desqup you will find high-quality tables such as the desqup Pro with a robust surface and all important functions and setting options. The desqup Corner, on the other hand, is also suitable for small rooms, as it can be ideally fitted into a corner. Have a look at the detailed product pages !

Your back and neck muscles will also benefit if you play your favorite games while standing. In a gaming chair, you run the risk of leaning back too far, putting unnecessary strain on your spine.

An ergonomic sitting and standing stool like the desqup Motion can also contribute to a healthy back, because it combines the advantages of sitting and standing.

• Distance to the monitor - with a flexible monitor mount and a height-adjustable desk, you can ideally adjust the distance between the monitor and your eyes
• No Tension or Pain - The constant movement and upright posture make you less prone to pain or tension in your back
• Joints are relieved - with a height-adjustable desk, your joints are no longer permanently in a bent position and you protect your health
