Fitness Load and Exercise Time in Secondary Physical Education Classes.

Peer reviewed

Li, Xiao Jun; Dunham, Paul, Jr. – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 1993

Investigates the effect of secondary school physical education on fitness load: the product of the mean heart rate above threshold (144 bpm) and the time duration of heart rate above that threshold. Highly and moderately skilled students achieved fitness load more frequently than their lower skilled colleagues. (GLR)

Using Heart Rate Monitors in Research on Fitness Levels of Children in Physical Education.

Peer reviewed

Strand, Brad; Reeder, Steve – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 1993

Demonstrates the use of heart rate monitors (HRMs) in fitness research and examines heart rate intensity levels of middle school students while they participated in a variety of physical education activities throughout a school year. Research shows the HRM has considerable potential in assessing fitness achievements in school-age children. (GLR)
