A biofeedback interactive boxing system for optimal performance

In this paper, we introduce a system that links an individual´s heart rate and muscle reaction time through performance boxing. In order to do so, the system utilizes force sensors, LED lights and a simple ECG belt. The system aims at making the individual exercise at a specific heart rate - the heart rate that results in an optimal performance as well as an effective work out. Though there have been several works that have looked into making boxing more interactive for the user, this system focuses on developing a boxing routine that would be specific to an individual. This is achieved by using the individual´s heart rate and recovery rate.
