In our last installment of Commercial Matting and Flooring Review<\/strong>, we explored cost effective ways for business and property owners to use floor mats to reduce liability<\/a>.\u00a0 In today\u2019s installment, we will look at specific types of matting<\/a> that not only reduce the potential for liability, but also increase productivity in the workplace.\u00a0 Termed Anti-Fatigue Mats<\/a>, these inexpensive flooring products turn most workspaces into comfortable environments that reduce muscle stress and fatigue.\u00a0 Fatigue-fighting comfort, in turn, keeps employees alert, productive, and efficacious throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Why Do We Feel Fatigued?<\/h2>\n

Before addressing the solution, let\u2019s first identify the problem:\u00a0 muscle fatigue.<\/p>\n

Fatigue<\/strong> results from dwindling energy.\u00a0 Because it may be mental or physical, fatigue is a problem for those who work in both physically and mentally exerting atmospheres.\u00a0 No matter the industry or line of work, fatigue has the ability to decrease both productivity and morale among workers.\u00a0 Businesses suffer when their employees suffer, making the problem of worker fatigue worthy of attentive consideration.<\/p>\n

Prolonged muscle contraction is the primary cause of dwindling energy, and thus fatigue<\/strong>.\u00a0 As an example, consider how standing for long periods of time requires the contraction of millions of muscle fibers.\u00a0 These fibers run throughout the feet, legs, and well into the lower back and neck.\u00a0 Constant contraction of these muscles creates the sensation of tension<\/em> from head-to-toe.\u00a0 This muscle tension inhibits natural blood flow and causes the heart to beat faster and more forcefully to maintain natural levels of oxygen and nutrient distribution.\u00a0 This triggers a cascade of side effects including cramping, pain, discomfort, and loss of energy.\u00a0 As energy decreases, corresponding decreases in mental focus and muscular strength also occur.<\/p>\n

Is Anti-Fatigue Matting the Solution?<\/h2>\n

Combating fatigue means stimulating muscles to allow blood to flow throughout the body in a free and natural manner.\u00a0 \u00a0Anti-Fatigue Mats<\/strong> are a solution in this regard as they have a unique construction that allows for subtle flexibility.\u00a0 Anti-Fatigue Matting <\/strong>varies in construction but generally consists of multiple horizontal layers stacked one on top of the other.\u00a0 Each layer differs in texture and flexibility, creating an overall soft surface that compresses under pressure.\u00a0 It is important to note that these stacked layers<\/em> are internal; Anti-Fatigue Mats appear to be only 1 solid mat.<\/p>\n

Compression is the key characteristic of any Anti-Fatigue Mat<\/a>.\u00a0 It causes the mat to contract, and it never yields a truly flat surface on which to stand.\u00a0 Muscles must flex at random intervals to remain balanced, alleviating tension and increasing blood flow through the muscles of the feet, legs, back, and neck.\u00a0 This produces two main benefits that help employees throughout the workday:\u00a0 it conserves energy by making it easier for the heart to circulate blood through the body\u2019s core and into its extremities.\u00a0 Moreover, it increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the major organ systems.\u00a0 This has a direct impact on performance in areas of both mental and physical performance, supplying major organs and muscle groups with the fundamental nutrients needed to function with maximum effectiveness.<\/p>\n
