BodyBank is a web-based app emphasizing body economics. It assesses student learning of the 8 skills-based comprehensive health standards by measuring daily stress vs. daily energy. Instead of isolating one component of health, the app experience highlights a comprehensive view of wellness. BodyBank has shown to work in individual PE & Health classes & has driven whole school culture & climate.
BodyBank measures STRESS relating to people, money, internal feelings & thoughts, time management, & physical health.
BodyBank measures ENERGY through water consumption, sleep, nutritious food intake, physical activity, rest/mindfulness, sun exposure & personal hygiene.
Components of Health
Students log stresses and activities related to the seven components of health throughout the day. Their ‘Starting Balance’ is determined by the level of stress in the student’s life.
Positive components of health credit their BodyBank account.
Negative components of health deduct from their account.
Balance & Credit
Students learn which activities and stimulants have the greatest impact on their BodyBank balance.
Students accumulate bonus streak points for consistent use. Points can be used for class/school incentives.
Health Data for Schools
Teachers, administrators, and grant-writers use aggregate (anonymized) data to view averages & trends in student health which can be used to assess health initiatives & more.
Get 16
We have found that students who earn 16 or more energy dollars in a day also tend to achieve a positive BodyBank Account balance for that day. The NFL & National Dairy Council’s in-school nutrition and physical activity program encourages students to “Play 60.” We encourage students to “Get 16.”
“Participation in physical education, recess, and classroom-based physical activity has a positive association with academic achievement, concentration, attention, on-task classroom behavior, cognitive skills, and attitude toward school.”
