Abstract
Introduction: Participation in optimal levels of physical activity during childhood is associated with many positive health outcomes. The Australian Government now recommends that children aged 5–18 should accumulate at least 60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity everyday. Perceiving physical activity intensity, however, can be a difficult task for some children, and it is not clear whether children can identify their levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity in accordance with the recommended guidelines. Heart rate monitors are a sound, objective intensity measurement tool which can also provide children with a practical way to monitor their physical activity intensity. This study therefore investigated whether heart rate biofeedback could enhance children's ability to identify their time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity.
