Help for Students Who Need More Physical Activity in School
... and their Teachers

Discipline problems?

Young people need to be active. For many students, especially young boys, the 'sit still and pay attention' requirement of desk work is too much to cope with.

More hyperactive students are enrolling in our schools. The special education inclusion requirement makes classroom management even more challenging.

The result is acting out, classroom disruptions and discipline problems.

How are Teachers Affected?

"Inability to control the classroom" is a major cause of teacher distress and failure. Time and attention devoted to student discipline takes away from the learning process. And these challenges are growing at the same time that teachers have never been under more pressure to improve student achievement levels.

Citizens want action on childhood obesity

Our citizens are clamoring for schools to do more about childhood obesity. Lack of physical activity is one half of the student obesity problem, the other being proper diet. Increased exercise uses calories, which affects both fitness levels and weights. Even a few hundred more calories used each day will have a long-term impact on childhood obesity.

New idea: An innovative design adds a new function - Exercise

No one has viewed the school desk as a resource for student physical activity…. until now.

How Does it Work?

A traditional student desk has a three part structure:

1. Flat work surface
2. Book box
3. Legs to hold up the book box and flat work surface.

Three part structure of the Dr. Stabile Student Desk:

1. Flat work surface
2. Book box (both together are the best selling desk top design in America)
3. A strong exercise "machine" holding up the flat work surface and the book box in place of the flimsy legs of the traditional desk. This adds an exercise function to the desk. This "machine" allows the student to exercise at least 7 muscle groups.

A better idea, not a Trade-Off

The Dr. Stabile Student Desk will bring more student exercise into the school day without:

• increasing the length of the school day,
• taking time from any other subject, or
• asking anything additional of the teacher…

…not a trade-off but a real advance, a better idea.

Exercise alone or with the class

Exercises can be done at the desk individually without disturbing the class or the class can do them together under the direction of the teacher. Ideal for hyperactive students, students who need to move (kinestic learners) or students who constantly work with manipulatives, but good for any student

Works with Nature

The Dr. Stabile Student Desk compliments the active nature of young people. It allows them to do what they naturally want to do - move… and without disrupting the class.
