The Burn 2 Learn app is a comprehensive digital tool designed to support the delivery of a unique physical activity program tailored for senior school students. This application brings together the science of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with modern technology to create an engaging and effective way for students to improve their health, fitness, mental well-being, and academic performance. The app offers short but powerful workouts that can be easily integrated into the school day, making it a perfect solution for busy students and educators alike.

Burn 2 Learn features a wide range of pre-designed HIIT workouts, including Gym HIIT, Sport HIIT, Hip Hop HIIT, Combat HIIT, Class HIIT (ideal for in-classroom use), and Quick HIIT for days when time is limited. Each workout is structured to ensure students reach and maintain above 85% of their maximum heart rate, which is essential for maximizing the benefits of high-intensity training. The app allows users to sync with heart rate monitors for real-time feedback or use it without any additional devices, making it accessible for all students. Users can customize their workouts by adjusting the work-to-rest ratio and the number of intervals, ensuring a personalized experience that keeps the sessions fresh and exciting.

In addition to its core functionality, the app includes a detailed dashboard that tracks key metrics such as sessions completed, average heart rate, number of wins against friends, age-predicted maximum heart rate, and the highest heart rate achieved during workouts. A calendar view provides an overview of weekly activity, helping students and teachers monitor progress over time. The app also generates personalized post-workout reports that highlight heart rates achieved during each interval, offering valuable insights into performance.

For group activities, the app supports solo sessions as well as competitive group sessions where up to five friends can challenge each other. Teachers can take advantage of the teacher version of the app, which is optimized for tablets like iPads, allowing them to monitor up to 30 students' heart rates simultaneously using a WASP device. Additionally, the app enables multiple user results to be linked using a unique group session code, making it easy to track class-wide participation and achievements.

Developed through a collaboration between researchers from the University of Newcastle, Australian Catholic University, and Northeastern University, the Burn 2 Learn program is supported by the New South Wales Department of Education. This partnership ensures that the app is grounded in scientific research and aligned with educational goals, making it a valuable resource for schools looking to enhance student engagement and health outcomes.
