The kybun marketing and trading AG and the Novex show at the largest European education fair, the didacta 2010 in Cologne, how it works. \”Roggwil/Switzerland, March 10, 2010: moving learning healthy classroom\”: the two companies kybun marketing and trading AG and Novex GmbH from 16 to 20 March on didacta in Cologne to present this concept. More than 30 schools in Germany even provide their students a healthy classroom\”available. A useful measure, because already 33.3% of children complain of occasional backache. One reason for this is lack of exercise. Just when adolescents 10 to 14 hours daily activities in the seats face an hour of exercise. But not only the television and the computer are to blame.
Also in the school, students must sit mostly quietly in their chairs. There is no evidence to suggest that sitting makes efficient learning, however. On the contrary, studies show that sitting still brings poverty of stimulus for the sensory system and Attention down sets. In addition, causes an incorrect deformation of the spine in the growth phase of the students long periods of sitting in school and favors thus chronic back pain. Therefore, it is ideal for health and learning to combine movement and education. This is made possible by the kyBounder, a soft elastic exercise mat, on which the students stand during the lessons. This document calls on the body to balance permanent work. A permanent exchange of information from brain and muscles takes place due to the instability on the mat.
This increases the sensorimotor skills, concentration and attention. So much for the health of the children is done\”, means also the orthopedic surgeon Prof. Dr. Peter Behrens. A study of the first healthy classroom confirmed the success of\”new mark middle school in Saxony. The evaluation of the pilot project show a significant effect. 46% of students gave a significant improvement of symptoms such as back and Neck pain, or restrictions on the support and stop system.
