"Polar's Total Solution Program brings physical education into the 21st century. We as teachers, can now have the cutting-edge equipment, such as heart rate monitors and TriFIT assessment systems that enables us to objectively assess each student and to develop personalized health and fitness portfolios for each one.

For the first time ever we have technology and documented data to evaluate the effort portion of a student's grade. These tools impact not only our teaching, our students and our focus, but also create a valuable interaction between parents, community and businesses. With these tools, you will leave no child behind because you have the technology to move every one of them to the front of the class. This "class," naturally, is in the school of life. This is what the New PE is all about."
