Heart Healthy Huskies is in need of more heart rate monitors so all students will be able to wear one during their physical education class. This type of technology is only effective if the students are one-to-one with it so they can see their personal results. The students will have their own bands to wear and we have iPads that work with the software system. The heart rate monitors will come with a lifetime license and a "bridge" which talks to the iPad and the monitors. This technology works in the gym/school where we have WiFi access, but it also stores data if we take our students outside and will transfer the data once we get back inside the school. The purpose of this project is to engage and motivate all students. We will see increased participation, activity time, and heart rates from the instant feedback the students receive throughout class. We are integrating technology into our physical education class while moving and having fun. We have a few objectives to meet while using the heart rate monitors. First, we want our students to spend at least 50% of class in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA). This will get their heart rates up during activity time thus achieving maximal benefits from exercise to help make their hearts healthier! Second, we are team players in our building. It has been proven that exercise and physical activity lead to academic achievement. It is our hope that when students work harder in our class, then it will flow over into their other core classes. Students will be more awake, have better concentration since more oxygen is flowing through their brain, and they will be able to sit still and focus on learning new material.
