One of the major components of the life quality is represented by the active lifestyle. The school educative programs should build up a series of competences allowing the young people to practice physical exercises also in their leisure time. The positive effects of this kind of activities will be reflected at all personality levels (physical, cognitive, emotional, and social). But nowadays, one of the most alarming aspects concerning the young people lifestyle is the increased tendency to adopt sedentary habits early at the age. That is the reason for why in this paper we approach the necessity to identify an evaluation model of the teenagers’ activism. The novelty of this evaluation approach is conferred by the missing demarches interested in calibrating the biomonitoring equipment’s that measure the indicators of the active lifestyle at adolescents’ level (heart rate, number of steps/day, number of calories, active time, distance). We have chosen this target group because, in some previous studies, there were identified a decreasing tendency of their cardiovascular fitness and an increasing tendency to become overweight. This information is also presented in the literature, often being associated with the analysis of other diseases. Starting from the aspects mentioned above, we present in this paper how it is possible to integrate a technological component represented by a Smart Sport Watch (designed with integrated GPS and heart rate monitor), in a evaluation model designed to objectify the adolescents’ active lifestyle and to offer a functional model able to put the basis for a referential database specific for this population. | Keywords
