Static versus dynamic sitting modes when performing on-desk tasks amongst preschool children.

Background: Studying at school and engaging in social activities are primarily performed while sitting, contributing to a sedentary lifestyle, which poses a major health concern for adults and children. Sitting independently and being stable facilitates success in reaching and connecting with objects.

Objective: Recognizing the potential negative consequences of SB, this study explored the effect of using a fit ball as an alternative seating option in classrooms to reduce sedentary behavior.
