Pedometers		Could you please tell me with unbiased opinion what would be the best pedometer for the money? We are looking to spend about $15 for each one. Is that a good amount or do we need to look at more expensive? Also, could you refer us to a couple of "good" brands and models to look for?
Pedometers		What brand do you recommend, one that can't be shook so easily to add steps and is accurate?
Pedometers		Are you aware of any grants available to provide 30 pedometers for use by my students? I would love to get some good quality pedometers and figure I will need to spend about $20 each. This kind of money is not available in our budget! Thanks.
Pedometers		If you do not set the strides on your pedometer what is the estimated steps to equal a mile?
Pedometers		I would like to use Pedometers as a way to assess my High School students in Phy. Ed, and measure their levels of physical activity. I am not quite sure of the best way to do this, and was hoping you might have some ideas.
Pedometers		We are currently on our 2nd set of pedometers as the first ones we bought were so inacurate. We have set an approximate stride length. We just ordered new pedometers with our Campbells soup labels and they are not proving to be accurate either. Do we need to invest in higher quality pedometers or are we missing something?
Pedometers		Could you recommend some grants for pedometers?
Pedometers		Where exactly are you supposed to wear the pedometer?
Pedometers		How do you calculate miles when everyone's stride is different from class to class. The class set I have (Right Step 300s) calculate steps, miles, & calories burned. If I set a distance for my students, will the calculations be that far off on miles walked?
Pedometers		Any idea where I can purchase very inexpensive pedometers? My budget is quite limited.
Pedometers		What is a good pedometer lesson for K-3 grades?
Pedometers		Dear Teresa, Thanks for taking my question. I am a college Health and Physical Education professor who is just now thinking of using pedometers in the classroom. I am interested in finding websites similar to the one I see on PE Central for Elementary school children. It would allow college students to individually log steps, compete as a class, etc. Where might I find such a site(s)? Many thanks, Scott
Pedometers		What is a Pedometer? How do you use and how can I implement the pedometer in to my classes at any level?
Pedometers		What is the best priced PE pedometer for a 4th grader to use?
Pedometers		My school has a large field that students can walk/jog around. I realized that students can tap their pedometer with their hand resulting in a much higher count than they deserve. Is this true on all pedometers? If so, how can it be prevented?
PE Central Challenge		IS THERE A TIME PERIOD THAT THE CHALLENGES MUST BE COMPLETED IN? OR CAN WE WORK THEM INTO OUR SCHEDULE?
PE Central Challenge		When will I get my pins after completing the PEC Challenge?
PE Central Challenge		How will PE Central know how many gold, silver and bronze pins I will actually need for my children?
