“…In summary, when appropriately addressed by instructors and administrators, the school day and environment offer children the opportunity to engage in a meaningful amount of PA (Erwin et al, 2011). Furthermore, stand-biased desk use has been associated with improved levels of SB (Aminian et al, 2015;Clemes et al, 2015;Contardo et al, 2016), increased energy expenditure (Benden et al, 2011;Benden et al, 2014), a decrease in age-matched BMI percentile (Wendel et al, 2016), improved posture (Benden et al, 2013), and improved cognitive function (Dornhecker et al, 2015;Mehta et al, 2015).
