The perfect way to get your child active
Encourage your child to be more active and experience the power of solving problems while walking up and down. It's a well-known fact that great ideas come to mind when you're on your feet.
Unfortunately, traditional learning often requires students to sit all day, which can be a time when they should be mentally at their best.
-
It has been found that extended periods of sitting can be detrimental to our overall health, both physical and mental. Kids today are exposed to a high number of screens at an early age, which means more time spent sitting in the classroom and hours of leisure time with video games or social media apps. These bad habits can lead to serious health risks if not addressed quickly. Taking even small steps away from a sedentary lifestyle is key for preventing long-term consequences.
Walkolution builds learning environment of the future
Walkolution has designed a revolutionary health-boosting workstation that permits users to walk silently on a gravity-driven treadmill while studying, maintaining focus simultaneously. This patented system requires no electricity and allows the person to customize their walking speed as desired. With this groundbreaking technology, people can now stay active even while in the midst of work!
Movement creates new brain cells.
It has been established that physical activity is beneficial for the mental development of children, improving things like memory and learning capabilities. Additionally, an increase in blood flow to the brain brings about positive effects. A research project conducted by the University of Illinois observed that better aerobic performance correlated with larger striatal volume among children which could be tied to improved cognitive regulation.

6 ways sitting too long in school and at home affects kids
-
Poor Posture
Prolonged sitting in the classroom can result in poor posture for kids due to tightened muscles and slouching. This can cause an array of issues, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and even respiratory and digestive problems.
-
Increased Risk of Childhood Obesity
Research has indicated that sedentary lifestyles can increase the risk of obesity in children. In comparison to those who partake in physical activity, inactive children are more likely to become overweight or obese. Furthermore, sitting for extended periods of time decreases the amount of calories burned and is a contributing factor to weight gain.
-
Decreased Muscle Strength
Prolonged sitting can result in weakened muscles for children as they are not being used and start to atrophy. This leads to lower bone density and a greater risk of injuries, as well as fatigue and decreased endurance.
-
Increased Risk of Disease
Research has demonstrated that extended periods of sitting can increase the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Furthermore, this sedentary behavior has also been associated with an elevated probability for premature death.
-
Impaired Brain Function
Prolonged sitting has been correlated to lower cognitive functioning in children. Studies have revealed that those who are inactive tend to have poorer academic performance and lower scores on standardised tests than their active counterparts. This inactivity can furthermore restrict attention span and reduce levels of concentration.
-
Poor Circulation
Prolonged sitting can impede circulation, which can subsequently result in fatigue, lightheadedness, and tingling. Poor circulation is also believed to be a contributory factor for the development of varicose veins and other cardiovascular issues later on in life.
