The IHT Spirit System By Kerriann Manziano

The Goal Students understand that exercise is good for their health and well-being But they do not understand how to properly exercise to the point of it being beneficial MY GOAL: is to help students understand their body’s, how they work in response to exercise, and to help them identify the different levels of intensity and when it is benefiting them to help them become healthier beings

How will this be done? There is a new software program that allows students and teachers to track their progress and achievements Compare data from pre and post fitness testing to show the success they have had Email notifications and text message notifications to parents and students about their physical activity for the day Many components that work together to provide real time data throughout the physical education class

IHT Spirit System • Track student progress by digital heart rate monitors • The Spirit monitor is the device to track progress and heart rate • Links up through the spirit reader right into the software and calculates the data • https: //ihtusa. com “Using digital technology and innovative curriculum to motivate students to take responsibility of their own health and fitness. ”

Item 1: Assessment Software Web-based software that tracks and colects data of all students Heart rate Nutrition Timed runs Health data Math/reading scores Parent and community engagement through daily reports Assecible from any device at any time

Assessment Software continued It helps students understand how their body’s are affected during different levels of intensity in PE class Helps track their progress and goals Keeps them on track in other subjects too Helps them know how much physical activity they need to do and how for health benefits

Cost I got in touch with Jessica Kral, the Director of Operations She said, “it varies from school to school depending on how many students there and what exactly the school wants. We customize to our customers needs so it would be very difficult to give you a price on the Spirit System. ” Where to buy: https: //ihtusa. com/assessment-software-0 or call and contact: jessica@ihtusa. com P: 512 -522 -9354

Item 2: Spirit Monitor The Spirit Monitor is worn by students in order to obtain heart rate data for the Spirit System Connects to the spirit reader and the information is sent to the software Alerts students when they hit desired heart rate or when they aren't doing enough work Tracks students heart rate during all types of activities This is one of the main pieces for the whole system to work, everything connects together to show student progress Where to buy: https: //ihtusa. com/product/spirit-monitor Cost: $189. 00 BUT prices vary depending on bundle packs

Item 5: Pedometer Gopher has partnered with the spirit system to make a pedometer to track student steps, miles, and other fitness testing data A delayed counting feature measures true activity and prevents a misstep reading by only counting consecutive steps taken after activity begins and not single steps taken in preparation. Students will be more actively engaged and try to have a lot of steps taken throughout class Displays in graphs to show student progress Where to buy: http: //www. gophersport. com/item/fitsteppro-uploadable-pedometers Price: $28. 95 BUT bundle packs are available upon request

The potential it could have: Mc. Kinney ISD was one of the nation’s first school districts to use Interactive Health Technologies’ Spirit System and PE 3 Course program “Students are more actively engaged” “Kids are starting to pay attention. They’ve bought into the system. ” It even saved lives, the spirit monitor tracked abnormally high heart rates in 2 students before class started, the students went to the doctors and found out one had diabetes, the other high blood pressure Article: “Healthy data: Technology-driven PE program tracks students’ physical activity. ” By: Chris Beattie
