Density plots showing the variations in the joint angles at the hip of 6 sitting positions, stratified by BMI (overweight, BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2): A) kneeling plantar flexed; B) left-monk (left hip); C) left-monk (right-hip); D) right-monk (right hip); E) sitting on a step stool; and F) standard leg-cross. The abduction and adduction of the hip are positive and negative values, respectively. The dashed lines signify the median value of the hip joint angle. The P values were computed with the Mann–Whitney U test
