Changing a classroom from standard desks to standing desks, has a significant effect on the body mass index (BMI) percentile of students, according to a study co-led by University of Louisville School of Public Health and Information Sciences researcher Monica Wendel, Dr.P.H., M.A., and her Texas A&M University collaborators.The study, published this month in the American Journal of Public Health, included 193 third-and- fourth-grade students at three Texas elementary schools over a two-year period.Children in the control classrooms sat at traditional desks, while those in the test group learned at what the study calls stand-biased desks, equipped with a footrest and stool.
