Heart Zones Move 3.2.2

The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app is specifically tailored for health clubs, healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centers, and educational institutions, providing a cost-effective and comprehensive data management system. This application, compatible with Apple’s iOS devices such as the iPad and iPad Mini, serves individual participants as well as groups, aiming to enhance engagement in fitness activities.

Instructors often face challenges in connecting with digitally engaged fitness enthusiasts and students. The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION app addresses these challenges by offering an innovative approach to physical education and fitness training for educators, coaches, and health professionals. Leveraging smart technology, the app integrates seamlessly with a variety of devices including heart rate monitors, step counting activity trackers, power meters, rower-ergs, treadmills, and indoor bikes. This connectivity fosters the development of lifelong healthy behaviors.

The Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION is comprised of three integral components:

1. Curriculum and methodology
2. Professional development through workshops, seminars, and certification programs
3. Applications and technology for both group and individual users

This economical data management system accommodates all classes by utilizing ANT+ or BLE (Bluetooth) sensors. Additionally, individual students can download the free Heart Zones Training app on iOS for use outside of group activities (available at this link).

The app functions as a comprehensive data management system through the iPad and iPad Mini. It allows instructors to track and analyze participants' physical activity data effectively. Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION offers real-time feedback by displaying critical metrics such as heart rate, speed, distance, steps per minute (SPM), and revolutions per minute (RPM). The technology is compatible with five types of embedded or body-worn sensors:

• Heart rate sensors
• Step counting activity sensors
• Cycling sensors (RPM and power meters)
• Treadmill sensors (steps, pace, speed, distance)
• Rower sensors (strokes per minute, pace per 500 meters)

Data can be showcased on larger screens such as flat-screen TVs or projectors connected to the iPad device. Individual student metrics are presented using distinctive tiles featuring numbers, color gradients, and graphical representations that adapt in real-time as participants adjust their speed or effort levels.

Notably, Heart Zones introduces the "flipped Big Board" concept, which allows instructors to choose from multiple data display options to maintain class engagement while promoting gamification and goal-setting. For instance, assessments like recovery heart rate can be visually displayed for participants to utilize as biofeedback in their fitness journey.

The app also uniquely auto-sets heart rate zones for all participants based on a brief personal assessment known as "Save the Peak." This feature enhances motivation and engagement by delivering real-time fitness data.

Heart Zones MOVE SOLUTION represents a transformative tool in fitness education that promises to improve both the quality of learning experiences and the quantity of exercise time in various activities.
