Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Kinesiology
  • Human Behavior

Background:

  • Adolescents face increased sedentary behavior due to reduced physical activity and school demands.
  • High school students, particularly struggling readers, are at risk for sedentary lifestyles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of activity workstations on academic performance and engagement in high school English classes.
  • To assess the impact of non-sedentary classroom options on struggling readers.

Main Methods:

  • A 16-week crossover study involving 20 high school students using activity workstations and traditional desks for 8 weeks each.
  • Participants engaged in the READ 180 program during 40-minute class periods.
  • Subjective surveys assessed reading, motivation, and schoolwork perceptions before and after each condition.

Main Results:

  • Academic performance improved in both activity workstation and traditional desk conditions throughout the study.
  • Significant enhancements were observed in reading, motivation, and schoolwork perceptions across both desk types.
  • Activity workstations did not negatively impact academic performance or student perceptions compared to traditional desks.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing activity workstations in classrooms is a viable option to increase physical activity in students.
  • Activity workstations can be integrated into educational settings without compromising academic outcomes or student engagement.
  • These findings support the use of alternative desk setups to promote a more active school day.
