Listen to your heart, it could tell you a lot about your health! The 4th & 5th grade students are starting to use the Polar Heart Rate Monitors that were supplied by the Carol M. White PEP grant. Polar Heart rate monitors will provide student with immediate feedback during class activities. By using this equipment, students learn and have a better understanding of how the human body works, while learning to improve and maintain their personal fitness levels. The students will put the monitors on by themselves. The elastic strip fits around the trunk and the transmitter is position across the sterna notch. The receiver is worn like a watch. The transmitter is made of plastic and is secure by an elastic strap. Transmitters and straps will be cleaned with disinfectant after each use.
