“The AHA is thrilled to continue working with the NFL on the PLAY 60 initiative,” said Kim Stitzel, Senior Vice President of Preventive Health Markets for AHA. “The NFL PLAY 60 App provides children the opportunity to get active for their heart health by putting the tools they need right in the palms of their hands – on their mobile devices. The great thing about the NFL PLAY 60 app is that it requires kids to be physically active in order to advance within the game and unlock rewards. It makes physical activity fun and helps children meet the goal of 60 minutes of physical activity per day.”

”We are pleased to continue our work with the American Heart Association on the PLAY 60 app,” said Clare Graff, NFL Director of Social Responsibility. “The app’s virtual race to San Francisco is a great way to build excitement among our young fans for Super Bowl 50.”

While playing the NFL PLAY 60 app, kids run, jump and turn to make their in-game characters do the same. As they move, their character moves to collect coins, unlock funky characters, jump over fun obstacles and so much more. In the race to Super Bowl 50, players run across the country and visit all 32 NFL cities while collecting coins to access limited edition Super Bowl 50 gear for their avatars.

The NFL PLAY 60 App version 2.0 is available and free for iOS and Android devices. The app supports iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPod 5 and later models. For more information visit www.heart.org/nflplay60
