Effets de l’utilisation de vélo-bureaux à l’école sur les fonctions exécutives, les capacités physiques et la composition corporelle chez les enfants de primaire : Une étude pilote intra-sujet (BICLASS)
Résumé
Context: Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors are associated with adverse health outcomes in both adults and children. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 9 weeks program using a Cycle Desk during school time in primary school French children from high or low socio economic status (SES) on body composition, physical fitness (PF) and executive functions. Methods: Seventy-five children completed a test battery before (T0) and after 9 weeks of use of Cycle Desk (T1) evaluating their anthropometric characteristics, body composition, PF and executive functions. Results: Body mass index increased significantly, while body fat decreased after the use of Cycle Desks. Specifically, lean mass increased in the high-SES group while it decreased in the low-SES group. Performances on PF and executive functions tests increased significantly after 9 weeks of use of Cycle Desk. More specifically, the low-SES group had a greater improvement in PF between T0 and T1, compared to the high-SES group. Regarding executive functions, the high-SES group had a greater improvement in performance at T1 compared to the low-SES group. Conclusion: The promotion of low-intensity PA with the use of Cycle Desk at school, seems to be an interesting strategy in the fight against adverse effects of sedentary behaviour among children. Moreover, this strategy appears to be particularly effective in children of low SES.
