The perfect way to get your child active
To solve a problem, one naturally walks up and down. It's common wisdom, that the best ideas often come to mind when you're on your feet! Paradoxically, the traditional way of learning has been to have students sit down for most of their education, while this is usually a time when they should be cognitively efficient.

Sitting won't hurt anyone, but sitting for long periods of time poses a great health risk to us and our children.
Studies have shown that sitting for hours each morning for an extended amount of time causes a multitude of health and mental problems, and with a growing number of screens that surround us in all stages of life, beginning from an early age, the problem is bound to get worse, as most students are spending time sitting not only at school, but watching television or using social apps in their free time.
Walkolution builds learning environment of the future
Walkolution has developed a revolutionary health-promoting learning workstation that now makes it possible to walk silently on a gravity-driven treadmill while studying, while at the same time being able to work with concentration. The patented system works without electricity, which allows the user to adjust his own walking speed intuitively and according to the situation.
Movement creates new brain cells.
Studies have shown that movement stimulates brain development, and improves memory and learning skills for students. When children move and do more than sit, they have more blood flowing into their brains. According to a University of Illinois psychology study, exercise affects children's brains and behavior as well. "It suggests that higher aerobic performance is associated with greater striatal volume in children, which may be linked to improved cognitive regulation," they said.

6 ways sitting too long in school and at home affects kids
-
Poor Posture
One of the ways that sitting too long in school affects kids is by causing poor posture. When children sit for long periods of time, their muscles start to tighten and they begin to slouch. This can lead to a number of problems, such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Additionally, poor posture can lead to respiratory problems and digestive issues.
-
Increased Risk of Childhood Obesity
Another way that sitting too long in school affects kids is by increasing their risk of obesity. Studies have shown that children who are inactive are more likely to be overweight or obese than those who are active. Additionally, sitting for long periods of time can lead to a decrease in the number of calories that are burned, which can further contribute to weight gain.
-
Decreased Muscle Strength
Sitting for long periods of time can also lead to decreased muscle strength in children. When muscles are not used, they begin to weaken and atrophy. This can lead to a loss of bone density and an increased risk of injuries. Additionally, weak muscles can lead to fatigue and a decrease in endurance.
-
Increased Risk of Disease
Children who sit for long periods of time are also at an increased risk of developing chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Additionally, sitting for long periods of time has been linked to an increased risk of early death.
-
Impaired Brain Function
Sitting for long periods of time can also impair brain function in children. Studies have shown that children who are inactive are more likely to have lower grades and score lower on standardized tests than those who are active. Additionally, sitting for long periods of time has been linked to a decrease in attention span and concentration levels.
-
Poor Circulation
Sitting for long periods of time can also cause poor circulation. When blood flow is restricted, it can lead to a number of problems, such as fatigue, dizziness, and numbness. Additionally, poor circulation can also contribute to the development of varicose veins and other cardiovascular problems later in life.
