Measuring Increases In Your Child’s Physical Activity the Easy Way

In the past, many of us have relied on a variety of heart rate monitors to measure our personal physical activity. Most heart rate monitors today are reliable and, after a few sessions, not particularly difficult to use. That is, unless you are a kid. Most monitors require the use of a chest based transmitter that sends signals to the monitor itself. It quickly becomes a problem when a smaller child tries to wear the larger chest transmitter.

Polar, the king of heart rate monitors, has come up with a solution. It’s called the FA20 Activity Watch. It comes in both a larger and smaller size and does not require a chests transmitter or any other additional device. Simply put it on and press start. It uses a variety of sensors to measure motion and tracks physical activity in a very understandable way. At the end of the activity session, the information can be easily uploaded to both the Polar and P.A.R.S. software.


Will the FA20 Activity Watch increase your child’s physical activity levels or decrease his or her sedentary viewing time? With P.A.R.S. it’s guaranteed. Go kids!
