Student Pedal Desks [6-12th Grade]

The Super Small Pedal desk is aimed at kids PreK—2nd Grade. Built for today’s classrooms, this ergonomic adjustable workstation supports learning through movement! It brings flexible seating to a new level by applying the science behind how the brain responds to light, steady activity during academic work.

Low-intensity steady-state movement, often called a flow state, is the most effective movement pattern for learning. This is not a workout machine. The Pedal Desk is designed to gently increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain while supporting neurogenesis, the natural process of creating new brain cells that occurs when we move.

The adjustable tabletop and seat height support personalized learning, and the silent, non-distracting pedal base allows students to move, fidget, and stay alert without disrupting others. Schools can easily use this tool to meet the needs of all learners and support the whole child.

ABL active learning and sensory equipment provides a non-distracting, silent way to allow children to move, fidget, wake their brains up and stay engaged and focused in the classroom. This makes it easy for schools to accommodate all learners, and keep the focus on serving the needs of the whole child. Action Based Learning aligns with the CDC framework for addressing health in schools, The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child, or WSCC model.To learn more about the science behind movement and learning educational furniture, check out Action Based Learning Training Academy.

Movement is user-powered; there is no resistance on elementary pedal desks. Based on brain research, adding a certain level of exertion during the learning process can actually work to counteract the benefits of moving. The Pedal Desk for elementary students is designed to activate Low Intensity Steady State Movement (LISS). To learn more about LISS, view the Science and Research behind Action Based Learning)
