Heart Rate Monitors

In Tech PETE today, we went down to the ARC and worked with heart rate monitors. Since I had Fitness Education last semester, I was very familiar with them. I believe that implementing heart rate monitors into physical education classes would be an excellent idea. They are very effective and students will have something to work towards. Also, the students are definitely held accountable because it is totally up to them to get into their target heart rate zone. I think that heart rate monitors are better than pedometers, but they are more expensive. I feel as though if a school is capable of receiving a grant, then the school should definitely invest in heart rate monitors for their physical educations classes.
