Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing heart rate information by wirelessly transferring the information between a heart rate monitor and a personal computer device (PCD). The information includes programming information and heart rate or training information collected during use of the heart rate monitor. The PCD may include a personal digital assistant (PDA), a pocket personal computer (pocket PC), or a laptop computer. The information is transferred over an infrared, sonic, audible, ultrasonic, magnetic, radio frequency, IEEE 802.11, or Bluetooth-based communication link.

Abstract: A system and method concurrently collects, submits, stores, processes, accesses, and reports demographic, health, and fitness data associated with students in a physical education program. The data is collected from the students and stored in access centers at various levels including a class, school, district, state, national, regional, and international level. Access to the stored data is provided via the Internet to users having different access rights, restrictions, and privileges at various levels including a student, parent, teacher, school official, district official or agency, national/regional official or agency, and international official or agency level.
