The perfect way to get your child active

The traditional learning model, across cultures, has children sitting down for the majority of their education. Since we now know that cognitive function is increased while walking as opposed to sitting, this model is counterproductive to learning and promotes a sedentary lifestyle from a young age.

  • Sitting won't hurt anyone, but sitting for long periods, over time, poses a great health risk to us and our children. Studies show that sitting for an extended amount of time causes a multitude of both physical and mental health problems. With a growing number of screens surrounding us beginning from an early age, a sedentary lifestyle is becoming the norm and children are spending most of their time seated, not only at school but also at home watching television, playing video games, and using social apps in their free time.

Walkolution is building the learning environment of the future

Walkolution has developed a revolutionary learning workstation that now makes it possible for students to walk on a completely silent treadmill while studying. This patented system, powered by the user, allows them to adjust their own walking speed intuitively, promoting concentration without distractions for themselves or other students.

Movement creates new brain cells.

Studies have shown that physical activity stimulates brain development and improves memory and learning skills for adolescents. When children are active, they have more blood flowing into their brains promoting growth and cognition. A study 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

    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

    Studies have shown that children who are inactive are more likely to be overweight or obese than those who are active. Sitting for long sedentary periods of time can lead to a decrease metabolism, which can further contribute to weight gain.

  • Decreased Muscle Strength

    When muscles are not used, they begin to weaken and atrophy. Weak muscles can cause fatigue and a decrease in endurance which can further lead to a loss of bone density and an increased risk of injuries.

  • 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 extended periods, over time, has been linked to an increased risk of early death.

  • Impaired Brain Function

    Sitting for long periods of time has been linked to a decrease in attention span and concentration levels. 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.

  • Poor Circulation

    Extended sitting can cause blood to pool in the legs. 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.
