ANN ARBORThere's another burst of seat-bouncing, giggling and shouting in
researcher Rebecca Hasson's simulated classroom at the University of
Michigan as Hasson catches study participant Marcus Patton cheating at
Sorry!
.
Marcus isn't having it. "How do you call that cheating?" demands Patton,
an 11-year-old cyclone of energy.
.
Patton admits it's tough to sit still. Like millions of other U.S. middle
and grade school kids he gets scant exercise during school because budget
and time restraints have slashed recess and lunch periods.
.
Hasson, assistant professor at the U-M School of Kinesiology, seeks to
remedy that problem by studying kids like Patton in a collaborative
research project called Active Classroom. Partners include the School of
Public Health Momentum Center, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban
Planning, and School of Education.
.
Researchers hope to find ways to redesign classrooms and develop a
curriculum to add in two-minute exercise breaks throughout the day"a
prescription for physical activity"and incorporate the additional fitness
as seamlessly as possible for teachers.
.
Clarke Fields, 9, and Patton, are between activity breaks now, meaning
they'll play games, watch television or do something else sedentary
between one of the 20 activity breaks. That's 40 minutes of exercise by
the end of the school daybut still only two-thirds of the recommended 60
minutes for kids.
.
Hasson's physical activity study differs from others in that it focuses on
the built and curricular environments rather than solely focusing on
behaviors, nutrition and exercise.
.
Her initial findings are promising: By incorporating low-, medium- or
high-intensity activity, kids may burn 100-300 more calories a day. She
found they quickly refocused on school work, and none reported disliking
the exercise.
.
Their enthusiasm shows. Patton and Fields snap to attention when Hasson
shouts: "Ready for an activity break?"
.

The other essential parts of the research are "playable" hallways and
classrooms. Hallways could be designed with pathways or longer routes and
encourage room-to-room movement or activities like hopscotch. Classes
might include furniture that teachers can store or rearrange and
structures such as climbing walls.
