We wanted to fight child obesity in America, so we designed a device that helps children train for the Presidential Fitness Test, a national measurement of childhood fitness. Our goal was to create a system to monitor the performance of a child performing the Presidential fitness tests, specifically sit ups, and the shuttle run. The child could use this device to train and improve their fitness skills and pave the road to their long term health. The user wears a "wristband" while they exercise, which communicates via radio to a "base station". We used a wide variety of sensors and radio communication between the multiple processors to log performance, and provided live feedback via lcd on the "wristband".
