OPEN’s partnership with FITNESSGRAM® produces another set of fitness education resources designed to create a culture of everyday fitness with your students. High School Plug & Play activities increase exercise intensity with a focus on exercise form, safety, and understanding perceived exertion. Utilizing heart rate monitor technology can enhance teachable moments and increase student motivation.
