Aucoin's "Lifelong Fitness for All" project increases knowledge about cardiovascular health by expanding the use of heart-rate monitors throughout elementary schools in Foxborough. Through the use of the monitors, physical educators can safely assess and address cardiovascular fitness among students and compile data for portfolios and parents. While developing programs to achieve individual levels of fitness, the project helps students gain a heightened awareness of the effect of exercise on the heart and gives them opportunities to track their progress throughout the school year.
