IDAHO FALLS - "Well, it gives you some room to move around with your feet," says 6th grader, Kevin Denton.

Ten lucky sixth graders at Hope Lutheran School in Idaho Falls can swing their legs and sit up high on backless stools during class time. It's all part of a work station study by the Idaho National Laboratory and the Mayo Clinic.

"We specifically are taking a look at vertical work stations, we were focusing in on students who seemed to be inattentive in class because of being overly active, they need a lot of activity and looking at the conventional desk where basically kids are kind of asked to sit still," says teacher, Jim Oloff.

Because of the rise in children's inactivity, Hope Lutheran wanted to find a way for kids to move around inside, like they do outside.

"We have studies that show that kids that learn in active classrooms are more active outside of the classroom as well so we are hoping that translates to healthy children all around and then hopefully healthy adults," says Mayo Clinic's Gabe Koepp.

The newer desks are different heights, whereas the older desks are all the exact same height. That's because each child is measured from the elbow down, making each desk a custom fit.

"So you think sitting up higher in the class will help you?" I asked Denton. "Yeah, because we have more eye contact with Mr.Oloff."

Right now, there are only ten new desks, but after the INL looks at student's attentiveness, body weight, daily activity, and they workout a few kinks.

"I wish there was a little bit more room to put your books," says Megan Mary.

Then the INL and the Mayo Clinic plan to expand the non-organized exercise study.
