Punching Bag Trainer

Abstract

In this project, a trainer for a punching bag was designed to help a boxer improve their reaction time and recognize their punching force. This trainer consists of a wrap for the bag and a pair of wristbands. These modifications for a punching bag of any size improve how a punching bag can be used. The accelerometers used for this project will be in the wristband of the boxer to keep them from breaking. The display on the punching bag wrap will express to the boxer how they are doing through a graph that displays the average punching force and the boxer's reaction time throughout their training sessions. The purpose of this project is to design modifications for a punching bag that help the user independently train themselves at boxing by measuring the force of their punches and seeing how quickly they can throw a punch.
