Lower School Students Try Innovative Heart-Rate Monitors in Personal Fitness Unit

Students in grades 4 and 5 put on heart-rate monitors and learned in real time how different exercises, from high-intensity to recovery efforts, impact their heart rates.
 
Students in grades 4 and 5 put on heart-rate monitors and learned in real time how different exercises, from high-intensity to recovery efforts, impact their heart rates.
 
The monitors were connected to the Firstbeat Sports Heart Analytics platform used to analyze St. Margaret’s student-athletes, which was purchased through a PTF grant. 

With the heart-rate monitors connected via WiFi to a laptop, and the laptop to a projector, students could finish a quick exercise like a sprint from one side of Campaigne Center to the other, and immediately see how workouts in different fitness zones affected their heart rate.
 
The lesson is part of a broader personal-fitness unit in P.E. for Lower School grades 3-5, which promotes lifelong fitness in students.
