On Your Feet: Students’ Cognitive Functioning Improved When Using Standing Desks

"New research out of the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health suggests students may think best when they’re on their feet.

Published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, the study offers some of the first evidence of neurological benefits of standing desks in classrooms, where students are given a preference for what they would rather do. Testing was done on high school freshman students who utilized the desks, evaluating them at the beginning and end of the school year. Dr. Ranjana Mehta, an assistant professor at the Texas A&M School of Public Health, led the experiments aiming to assess neurocognitive benefits."
