Exercising in class: something that doesn't happen enough in schools. A missed opportunity, research from the UMC Groningen and Rijksuniversiteit Groningen shows. Researchers studied the effects of exercising during class for a couple of years. They concluded that children can focus more on their tasks and remember them better when they were active.
The Prins Willem-Alexanderschool in Nijkerk is one of those schools that offers exercise in the classroom, with active furniture from Worktrainer. Children aren't hunched over their books during their classes, but are biking and jumping to their heart's desire.
