Lessons From the Heart: Individualizing Physical Education
with Heart Rate Monitors
Heart rate
monitors (HRMs) are making it easier than ever before for both
students and teachers to be fully accountable. They allow students
to become responsible for their individual efforts and enable
teachers to objectively determine each student's progress toward
personal fitness goals.
Lessons From the Heart shows you how to use this technology to
enrich and individualize your physical education program. Veteran
physical educator Beth Kirkpatrick, former NASPE Teacher of the
Year, and Burt Birnbaum, who has been developing programs for
the use of HRMs in education since 1977, present 38 practical
lesson plans designed to stimulate student learning and motivation
through the use of HRMs. All of the lessons have interdisciplinary
applications, and many of them include reproducible worksheets.
To make it easy for you to incorporate the lessons into your class,
each lesson includes € goals, Lessons
From the Heart also provides essential background information
about the structure and function of the heart, methods for measuring
heart rate, and the use of heart rate monitors in the classroom.
The book's valuable appendices give you quick instructions for
using heart rate monitors, information on meeting NASPE's physical
education content standards, tips for securing funding for heart
rate monitors, and guidelines for curriculum development. Whether you're
currently using HRMs in your program or just exploring their potential,
Lessons From the Heart will show you how to take full advantage
of this technology.
