Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and devices for performing multiple measurements of a boxing punch (or a similar push action in other sports). These measurements provide force, acceleration, four types of reaction time, 3D angles, speed, accuracy/precision, rate of force development, straight punch (jab or cross) efficiency, SPR index (Strength, Precision, reaction time) and/or other information. The devices doing the associated measurements, use one or more force sensors and one or more motion sensors embedded in the boxing gloves and/or in the punched (pushed) object (e.g., punching bag or mitts).
