摘要：The main purpose of this work that is under development is to design
classrooms for Cycle students in Portugal, considering ergonomic
criteria. At present, working is being done on one of the specific
objectives that consists in defining the dimensions of the furniture
for above mentioned students. The sample so far includes 432
volunteer students of 9 schools, aged 6 to 10 years. The methodology
defined a group of 13 anthropometrical variables taken by means of
a previously validated anthropometrical chair. According to results
obtained so far, it is important to highlight that the sample shows a
normal distribution and exists a strong Pearson’s correlation
between height variable and a group of variables, among which
popliteal height, gluteo-popliteal distance and sitting height stand
out. On the other hand, in order to allow students to sit correctly, the
use of 4 types of furniture is necessary. In conclusion, the results of
this work will allow, among other things, to determine measures
necessary to develop school furniture that so far is of four types,
which differs widely from the two seen in practice.
