Heart rate monitors and kids

Just interested in asking if any of you use heart rate monitors with your kids…what for…how…do they enjoy it…that kind of thing…

I just got myself a very basic Polar FT1 and found i can strap it on my sons wrist and thought it would be fun to monitor him during football (sorry, soccer) practice one day as he is very switched on for his tender age of 8 years old plus he has a great engine on him and speed…and I think he would actually find getting the data fun…

Sounds like fun to me.

My oldest daughter (freshman in high school) is required to wear a HRM in gum class. They prescribe certain HR zones that they need to spend a certain amount of time in each day.

All the data is available for review upon request.
