Resting Positions

Description
Description

Human resting positions are a variety of natural postures that humans perform to achieve a state of increased calmness. Ranging from lying down, kneeling, squatting, and sitting, resting positions are proven to decrease muscle tension, slow heart rates, lower blood pressure, and promote other related health benefits. As both formal and informal states, resting positions can help humans cope with stress, pain, anxiety, anger, and depression and are often naturally integrated into a day to day lives. Resting positions are physical responses that lessen the stresses that we place on our bodies by actively standing upright, walking, and exercising.

Sitting Cross-Legged

Sitting cross-legged is a method of sitting on the floor to rest, stretch, or pause. In some cultures, it is customary to sit cross-legged on the floor to eat. Sitting cross-legged is also common in grade school where it is frequently referred to as sitting criss-cross applesauce. Sitting cross-legged is considered “active rest,” as it requires more muscle use than sitting in a chair and can improve stability and flexibility.

Sitting - Children (Back)

Assortment of boys and girls sitting as seen from the back profile. Children are always moving between various sitting positions at home or at school as they play and learn. Naturally taking on postures that are comfortable to their bodies, children most commonly sit in positions that include: Criss-cross applesauce (legs crossed), legs in front, legs to the side, on their knees, or W position. W Sitting, when a child sits on their butt with their knees bent and feet angled outward, is known to put your child at risk for injuries and limited core strength and flexibility and should be corrected whenever possible.

Pool Floats - Rafts - Male (Plan)

Rafts are long, usually rectangular flotation devices for use in a pool. Rafts can be either inflatable or constructed out of a coated foam. Rafts typically feature an elevated head rest to promote comfortable relaxation in the pool. Rafts are good for tanning, as they allow the user to float completely flat and expose either their entire front or back for an even tan.
