Already, fifty years ago, a researcher at the department of psychology at Stockholm university that people are capable of intellectual tasks significantly easier if, at the same time sitting and pedaling an exercise bike at moderate pace.
I came to think of this when I the other day once again heard that school children spend too much time sitting and not in motion at least an hour a day, as they really should. The baddies are not the least mobile phones and the lack of school playgrounds.
long ago various so-called deskbikes, skrivbordscyklar, which is intended precisely to combine type – and läsarbete with the easier exercise. Thus, it is posted for the school or the parents who want to let their kids try this.
I imagine that deskbikes can be particularly useful for language practice and mathematical tasks, thus learning with the elements of pulse and rhythm, or the proper problem solving. Extra useful it can be for students who for any reason have difficulty ”sitting still”, and in particular young people who have been diagnosed with adhd.
case catch up the oförlösta of the kinetic energy in a form that has a general calming effect and helps the student to focus on the data. It can thus also help to allay fears in the classroom.
the Research showed, however, that the sinnesskärpande the effect tended to wane as the cycling became more intense phases. Any ”competition” may not be in the classroom.
Enough, it would surely go to by the time also get deskbikes with built-in generator for the custom lighting? Fun may it also be.
is spinningsalar ready for those teachers who want to test what the bike would be able to achieve for their pupils, for example, in the case of exercises, or ”glosplugg”.
