Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for measuring physical impacts to various surfaces, including athletic equipment such as punching bags, tackling dummies, etc. An example system includes a punching bag and a plurality of force sensors coupled to the punching bag. The force sensors are configured to detect physical impacts on the punching bag.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a punching bag;
- a plurality of force sensors coupled to the punching bag, wherein the force sensors are configured to detect physical impacts on the punching bag, wherein the physical impacts comprise a punch, a kick, or another physical strike;
- and
- a controller having at least one processor and a memory, wherein the at least one processor executes program instructions stored in the memory so as to carry out operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from at least one of the force sensors, information indicative of one or more physical impacts;
- and
- determining, based on the received information, at least one of:
- a peak force, a jerk time, or a momentum value.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, from at least one force sensor, information indicative of one or more physical impacts, wherein the at least one force sensor is coupled to a device body, wherein the one or more physical impacts comprise a punch, a kick, or another physical strike;
- and
- determining, based on the received information, at least one of:
- a peak force, a jerk time, or a momentum value.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a device body configured to be removably coupled to a coupling surface;
- at least one force sensor coupled to the device body, wherein the at least one force sensor is configured to detect physical impacts to the coupling surface;
- and
- a controller having at least one processor and a memory, wherein the at least one processor executes program instructions stored in the memory so as to carry out operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from the at least one force sensor, information indicative of one or more physical impacts on the device body;
- and
- determining, based on the received information, at least one of:
- a peak force, a jerk time, or a momentum value.
