The Challenge:

To monitor the frequency and exertion of punches:

• What is the trainee's number of punches per minute?
• At what number of punches does the trainee become fatigued? (use this to monitor endurance improvements over time)
• With what force-in pounds, Newton's, or kilograms-is the trainee punching?

How it works:

This boxing setup allows the user to track his or her progress in rate of punches per minute, force of punches, and endurance over time via logging training session data with LoadVUE.
