More about S2H.COM - Be Active, Get Rewards
S2H aims to inspire children to increase their level of physical activity through incentivizing increased participation in sports. We have developed the S2H REPLAY which is a unique activity tracker that records and rewards sports participation. For every 60 minutes of activity, users earn a special reward code that they upload to S2H.COM to earn points towards sports merchandize and gift cards. This has created a culture where physically activity is fun and socially desirable.
NBA All-Star Paul Pierce has been distributing his ‘Activity Watch’ in schools, providing exercise videos on how children can play a variety of sports to increase their activity levels over time. This change in behavior can help one component of reducing childhood obesity, which has tripled over the last three decades in the US alone. About 32% of children and adolescents today (25 million kids) are obese or overweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Increasing physical activity is important in helping reverse the costly trend of overweight and obesity.
