Design of an electronic device to measure the strength and speed of some basic skills of young boxers

Abstract

Boxing is a sport characterized by strength and speed, enabling it to achieve the highest levels. It has several advantages, whether offensively or defensively. It relies on basic human movements, such as standing, support, and the ready stance. It is also one of the fastest individual sports, due to two people clashing in a square-shaped ring. A boxer's performance is characterized by strength and punch speed, requiring trainers and specialists to measure the strength and speed of punches during training sessions to ensure their continuous development. This can only be achieved through tests that measure the punch speed of boxers of all categories, both during training and in practice. Tests that measure the strength and speed of punches are general tests, not specialized in a particular sport. The designed device has the ability to measure the strength and speed of basic skills (straight, lateral, and upward) in a manner consistent with a boxer's performance during actual combat and even during training, whether from a moving or stationary position. The idea for the invention came from designing a device consisting of several interconnected parts. It includes an electronic device that measures punch power (in kilograms) and punch speed (in seconds and fractions of a second) for the following purposes:

 Identifying the speed of a boxer's punching skills (in seconds. (

 Identifying the punching power (in kilograms) and converting it to Newtons for the boxer.

Finally, through the scores displayed on the device, the boxer's strengths and weaknesses are determined in terms of punch power and speed, so that the coach can address them based on the digital readings provided by the electronic pad.
