Tracking Physical Activity Just Got a Whole Lot Easier: Using Fitness Platforms to Track Student Progress
Schulz, Denis; Phelps, Ashley; Mousel, Tim
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v93 n4 p53-54 2022
This article will focus on five fitness tracking programs that can be used starting in Kindergarten all the way to adulthood. With the elimination of paper workout logs in mind, software developers have created easy-to-use interfaces that allow both educators and students to monitor their activity progress throughout the course of the semester or academic year. These fitness tracking platforms include optional, anonymous leaderboard participation, nutrition logging of macronutrients, personalized workouts for students generated based on fitness goals, daily updates on current activity grades, and pre- and post-test fitness component features, to name a few.
