Creativity is important for school performance. As several brain mechanisms involved in creativity are stimulated by low-intensity physical activity, standing might influence creativity. Few studies on the relationship between standing and creativity have been executed, and none among vocational education and training (VET) students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether standing influences creativity in VET students. In a randomized crossover study, 192 VET students were randomly allocated to standing or sitting (i.e., control) for 30 min. After 15 min, they performed two creativity tests: Guilford's Alternative Uses Test (divergent thinking) and Remote Associates Test (convergent thinking). Subsequently, conditions were switched, and the procedure was repeated. Multilevel analyses showed no significant effect of standing on divergent or convergent thinking test performance. Our results show that 30 min of standing does not affect creativity in VET students.

站立与坐着对青少年创造力的影响——交叉随机试验：PHIT2LEARN 研究

创造力对于学校表现很重要。由于与创造力相关的多种大脑机制会受到低强度体力活动的刺激，因此站立可能会影响创造力。关于地位和创造力之间关系的研究很少，而且没有针对职业教育和培训（VET）学生的研究。因此，本研究的目的是调查站立是否影响职业教育与培训学生的创造力。在一项随机交叉研究中，192 名 VET 学生被随机分配站立或坐着（即对照）30 分钟。15 分钟后，他们进行了两项创造力测试：吉尔福德替代用途测试（发散思维）和远程同事测试（聚合思维）。随后，切换条件，并重复该过程。多层次分析表明站立对发散或聚合思维测试成绩没有显着影响。我们的结果表明，站立 30 分钟不会影响 VET 学生的创造力。
