Sažetak
The increasing time period people spend in sitting position presents several risks of suffering musculoskeletal disorders. The main objective of this research was to raise awareness for prolonged sitting students about negative consequences of the incorrect seat. In the mainframe of the research the body pressure distribution of different body shaped students in diverse postures were measured on the most frequently used chairs in university’s lecture halls and laboratories. The recorded pressure maps were analysed from sitting comfort aspects thereafter and suggestions for correct sitting postures formulated finally. Research data and analysis revealed that most of the subject sit asymmetrically on chairs, the difference between left and right sides can reach 25%, the body built and sitting posture has a significant influence on the pressure distribution and peak pressures in the selected zones. Beside to a comfortable seat a special attention should be paid also to a correct posture, because many of health complains can be linked to the latter.
