News from Grand Valley State University

GVSU prof featured on NPR show

John Kilbourne, professor of movement science at Grand Valley State University, appeared on the National Public Radio show Here and Now. He spoke about the results of his experiment having students sit on stability balls instead of chairs in his classes.

Kilbourne found that the over-sized, bouncy plastic orbs improved students’ posture and attention spans; and all but one of his 52 students wanted to use the balls in their other classes.
