THIS APP REQUIRES A SEPARATE HARDWARE PURCHASE FOR THE APP TO FUNCTION. The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app is designed for health clubs, facilities like health care and rehabilitation, and schools as a low cost, high data management system that seamlessly works with both individual participants or groups of participants and students. The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION uses the Apple-operating system (iOS) running on both the iPad and the iPad Mini. Meeting digitally engaged fitness enthusiasts and students where they are today is a challenge for many instructors. The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app is one way to address these challenges and introduce the new smart PE for fitness professionals, physical educators and coaches, and health professionals. Like any smart technology, Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app uses smart devices like heart rate monitors, step counting activity trackers, power meters, rower-ergs, treadmills, and indoor bikes and other technology that can result in lifelong healthy behavioral changes - after all -- isn't that what we all want to achieve. The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION is one part of the three parts for the complete solution: (1) Curriculum and methodology (2) Professional development including workshops, seminars, and certificate-based education (3) Apps and technology for groups and individuals-user This low cost, high data management system works with ease with any and all of your classes using either ANT+ or BLE (bluetooth) sensors. In addition, individual students and participants can download for free an individual-user iOS app, Heart Zones Training, to use when away from the group or the instructor: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/heart-zones-training/id846768885 The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app stores and displays data using your iPad and iPad Mini serving as a data management system. This allows you to track, measure, monitor, save, store, and manage your participants and student's physical activity data. Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION uses mobile technologies to provide real-time feedback by displaying data such as heart rate, speed, distance, steps per minute (SPM), and revolutions per minute (RPM). The app includes five different embedded or body-worn sensors: (1) Heart rate sensors (2) Step counting activity sensors (3) Cycling sensors: RPM (revolutions per minute) and power meters (4) Treadmill sensors: number of steps, steps per minute (cadence), pace, speed, distance and more. (5) Rower sensors: Strokes per minute, pace per 500 meters, distance, heart rate, and more. Students’ data can be displayed on a “Big Board” such as a large flat screen TV or on the wall or screen, using a projector connected to the iPad device. Individual student "tiles" are displayed using numbers, color gradients, and graphic data, which change continuously as the participant moves, changes speed or pacer, increases or decreases SPM (strokes per minute for rowers), effort (heart rate). Heart Zones is the first to introduce the "flipped Big Board". That is, the instructor is given the choice between 3 to 4 different data displays to keep the class fresh and provide both gamification and goal setting activities. For example, the instructor can display assessments like recovery heart rate for participants to visually use the biofeedback to improve their fitness. Heart Zones is the first app that auto-sets all participants heart rate zones based on a simple and short individual and personal assessment called "Save the Peak". If you want technology-enabled motivation and engagement for your participants, the Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app is a tool that gives you real-time fitness data. This should lead to increased quality (learning experiences) and quantity (exercise time) of your classes no matter what activity you select. Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION is motivational and engaging. It is a game changer.
