I guess I don't see the connection between standing, sitting, and concentration?

I definitely think typing and using a mouse while standing takes some getting used to (in particular if you rest your arm on an armrest while seated); but concentration itself, to me at least, is not correlated.

I will say I think simply standing as a health benefit exists but is overblown. If you really want health benefits you have to move, so now we're talking about: treadmill desks or exercises.

For many people (myself included), standing up feels like working, sitting feels like being lazy.
