Table 2 Results of descriptive measures of user behavior and experience of table use (average ± standard deviation)

	Sitting	Static standing	Dynamic standing
Number of breaks (N)	0.7 ± 0.8	2.3 ± 2.2*	2.0 ± 2.2*
Duration of breaks (min)	1.9 ± 2.4	17.3 ± 29.3*	15.3 ± 28.5*^#
Overall movement (counts/min)	26.3 ± 12.5	43.7 ± 29.4^$	60.4 ± 31.8*^#
Rate of total musculoskeletal discomfort development (mm/min)	0.02 ± 0.04	0.39 ± 0.53*	0.23 ± 0.37*^#
Average swelling for both legs (cm)	0.11 ± 0.17	0.64 ± 0.61*	0.44 ± 0.48^$

Note: Main effects are reported in the result section, however, post hoc tests are represented as follows: different from Sitting: *p < 0.05 (^$ trend < 0.10); different from Static standing: ^#p < 0.05 (^† trend < 0.10)
