项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): According to the state demographer for Texas (Eschbach & Fonseca, 2009), childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past 20 years, and overweight/obesity rates for Texas fourth graders are twice the national average for fourth grade students. In addition, obesity rates for Latino and African American children in Texas are among the highest in the nation. This is problematic because 70 percent of overweight and obese youth become overweight and obese adults, which significantly increases the risk other chronic diseases. In Brazos County, Texas, a group of local stakeholders have identified and prioritized childhood obesity as a key community issue. These stakeholders have been loosely networked, and the current project will strengthen that network to build on resources and capacities to engage in policy-relevant childhood obesity research. Most school-based childhood obesity interventions target some aspect of energy balance-either reducing the calories consumed or increasing physical activity. The gap in those programs has been affecting physical activity during the entire school day, not just during physical education or recess time. Dynamic classrooms-using stand/sit workstations for students-are a relatively low-cost, low-effort method of passively increasing children's physical activity during instructional time, as standing burns up to 30 percent more calories than sitting in children at this age. The stand-biased desks allow students to stand or sit at their discretion, without being disruptive or conspicuous among their classmates. The study seeks to examine health and academic outcomes in order to present comprehensive information to PositiveMotion LLC regarding their unique designs for stand-based work stations. Relevant to CDC's mission, this research has the potential to produce commercial products that could be produced domestically to reach the vast majority of children through the public school system, enhancing their ability to stay healthy and be successful in their education and increasing their chances of a full and productive life.

描述(由申请人提供)：根据德克萨斯州人口统计学家(Eschbach&Fonseca，2009)的数据，儿童肥胖症在过去20年中增加了一倍多，德克萨斯州四年级学生的超重/肥胖率是全国四年级学生平均水平的两倍。此外，德克萨斯州拉美裔和非裔美国儿童的肥胖率在全国名列前茅。这是有问题的，因为70%的超重和肥胖的年轻人成为超重和肥胖的成年人，这显著增加了其他慢性病的风险。在德克萨斯州的布拉索斯县，一群当地利益相关者已经确定儿童肥胖是一个关键的社区问题，并将其列为优先事项。这些利益攸关方已经建立了松散的网络，目前的项目将加强这一网络，以建立参与与政策相关的儿童肥胖症研究的资源和能力。大多数以学校为基础的儿童肥胖干预措施的目标是能量平衡的某个方面--要么减少卡路里消耗，要么增加体力活动。这些项目中的差距一直在影响整个上学期间的体育活动，而不仅仅是在体育课或课间休息时间。动态教室--为学生使用站立/坐着的工作站--是一种相对低成本、低投入的方法，可以被动地增加儿童在教学时间的体力活动，因为在这个年龄段，站立比坐着燃烧的卡路里高出30%。站立倾斜的课桌允许学生自由站立或坐着，而不会在同学中造成干扰或显眼。这项研究旨在检查健康和学术成果，以便向PositiveMotion LLC提供关于他们为站立式工作站所做的独特设计的全面信息。这项研究与疾控中心的使命相关，有可能生产出可以在国内生产的商业产品，通过公立学校系统接触到绝大多数儿童，增强他们保持健康和在教育中取得成功的能力，并增加他们过上完整和富有成效的生活的机会。
