Heart rate monitoring workflow

The general heart rate monitoring workflow in the Polar GoFit web service is described below. Set up the system first. Then proceed to create the first course and continue as shown in the picture below.

You can have several heart rate courses in the Polar GoFit web service simultaneously. Students can participate in several heart rate courses at a time, and they can have several heart rate measuring devices assigned to them. Moreover, one heart rate measuring device can be assigned to several students at a time provided that the students sharing a heart rate neasuring device are not participating in the same course.

  1. Create a heart rate course. Enter course information, course type and heart rate course settings.
  2. Add students to the course.
  3. Assign heart rate measuring devices to the students.
  4. Students wear the devices during PE lessons. Teacher monitors and shares heart rate data via the Polar GoFit app. The Polar GoFit app displays each student's heart rate as a percentage of the individual maximum heart rate value. It also shows the reward badges students collect. For instructions on how to wear the heart rate measuring device, see the device user manual.

    Students pick up their assigned devices in the beginning of each PE lesson and return them after the lesson. Alternatively, if each device is assigned to only one student, students may keep their assigned devices at home. It is also possible for individual students to purchase their own devices and wear them instead of school devices.

  5. Data transfer between the Polar GoFit app and Polar GoFit is automatic.
  6. Review the heart rate data during and after course in both Polar GoFit and the Polar GoFit app.
  7. The course ends. The web service evaluates students automatically based on the selected evaluation type. Print out course evaluation report and detailed student report.
