We used a randomized controlled design to investigate whether using stability balls during the school day was associated with higher levels of on-task behavior and academic achievement and fewer discipline referrals. METHOD. Over 9 mo, students in 2 second-grade classrooms in a southeastern rural elementary school used stability balls as chairs while students in 2 control classrooms used chairs as usual. We collected measures of on-task behavior, standardized measures of literacy and mathematics achievement, and discipline referrals. RESULTS. We found similar levels of on-task behavior and achievement in treatment and control classrooms and a downward trend in disruptive behaviors in treatment classrooms. CONCLUSION. This study did not find use of stability balls for entire general education classrooms to be a practical use of resources for schools. More research with rigorous controlled designs is needed to support the use of stability balls for the general education population.

Elementary Students’ Physical Activity Levels and Behavior When Using Stability Balls / Heather E. ERWIN in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 70/2 (mars-avril 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 70/2 (mars-avril 2016) Titre : Elementary Students’ Physical Activity Levels and Behavior When Using Stability Balls Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Heather E. ERWIN ; Alicia FEDEWA ; Soyeon Ahn ; et al. Année de publication : 2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ergothérapie  Ecole  Enfant  Comportement Résumé : OBJECTIVE. Physical activity is positively related to improved student behaviors. Stability balls have been used as interventions to affect student behavior. The objective of this study was to determine whether the use of stability balls elicits more physical activity than the use of regular chairs and whether stability balls positively influence behavior. METHOD. Participants (n = 43 fourth graders) sat on stability balls during class and wore accelerometers. Eight were randomly selected for behavioral observations using momentary time sampling. RESULTS. Significant decreases in accelerometer counts were found. No obvious difference for on-task behaviors was found between students using stability balls and those using chairs. CONCLUSION. Stability balls do not necessarily elicit more physical activity than do chairs; however, students accumulate light-intensity physical activity when using them. Classroom behavior was not detrimentally affected by stability ball use; thus, stability balls do not appear to detract from the classroom instructional atmosphere.
