Physical Health:

• Childhood obesity rates have tripled over the last three decades.  Did you know that children may burn up to 15% more calories when standing instead of sitting?  Standing desks in the classroom can slow the increase in elementary school children’s BMI by an average of 5.24%.  It is said that active kids stay active, so introducing low-level activity in the classroom, such as sit-stand desks, can help break the unhealthy sedentary patterns of today.

Classroom Engagement:

• The American Psychiatric Association reports that 5% of American children are diagnosed with ADHD making concentration in the classroom more challenging than ever.  For children with ADHD moving and fidgeting is an urge they cannot resist. Hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity are regular parts of their school day.  Standing desks create the foundation for a movement-rich environment.  The increase in movement and exercise increases dopamine production and in turn, helps improve attention and focus in children with ADHD.
