This article is relevant to my research because it indicate how children might be motivate to increase their physical activity level, because having the heart-rate monitor increase the children physical activity level. This information will help with developing a policy proposal. This article indicated that the long and short term effect might be different so they have to be taken into consideration, because I want to create a policy proposal that has a long term effect. Unlike other authors listed in this bibliography, Mc Manus and al conducted in a different country other than the Untied State, they use Hong
