Summary

This study tests a new classroom setup where traditional desks are replaced with standing desks, fitballs, and wall boards to get kids moving more. Researchers will track 500 students in Spain to see if this reduces sitting time and improves thinking, fitness, and well-being. The goal is to understand if simple changes to classroom furniture can make a real difference in children's health and learning.
