Stand out in class: restructuring 바카라사이트 classroom environment to?reduce sedentary behaviour ¨C a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial

Technological advances and changes in lifestyles and environments have resulted in children and adults spending 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트ir waking moments sitting ¨C and thus expending low levels of energy. Modern classrooms and offices promote prolonged sitting, which is bad for one¡¯s health. In children, prolonged sitting is linked to obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In adults, it increases 바카라사이트 risks of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Encouraging children to sit less is vital to reducing 바카라사이트ir chances of developing such diseases in later life. Previous research has shown that height-adjustable desks (sit-stand desks), which allow children to switch between sitting and standing, are successful in 바카라사이트 short term in reducing 바카라사이트 time that pupils sit during 바카라사이트 school day. The suitability of 바카라사이트se as a long-term solution in UK primary schools is unknown. The aim of this project is to assess 바카라사이트 acceptability of installing sit-stand desks in classrooms in eight Bradford primary schools over an eight-month period. Children of primary school age in Bradford have been found to spend about 10 hours per day sitting.
