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,
€ key concepts,
€ materials needed,
€ a description of the activity, and
€ helpful teaching tips.

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.
