Bottom Line Up Front: students sitting on ball chairs will be able to sit still, focus, and acquire knowledge, while building their core and postural muscles. Research has proven the aforementioned claim. A Mayo Clinic study ( Rochester, 2007), found that a chair-less classroom improved learning and reduced obesity by making children more active, researchers found that the ability to move around more while sitting made the students more attentive. Benefits of the ball also include integration of the health and wellness and physical education curriculum, all while students improve and build on their individual academic successes. To summarize, the stability ball chairs will best allow our scholars to acquire and demonstrate mastery of knowledge since their learning will seamlessly involve moving, exploring, and energizing all the senses.
