Design and development of an upper extremity performance analysis system for combat sports

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a training and measurement system based on kinetic and kinematic parameters for combat sports that require upper extremity performance, such as boxing, judo, and karate. This system instantly measures strength, speed, and coordination parameters with cognitive stimuli. The parameters such as force applied against colored cognitive stimuli, reaction time given to stimuli, total training time determined by the coach during the training are saved instantly by the software and reported at the end of the training. As a result, it is ensured to follow sports performance with the kinetic and kinematic data obtained from sports efficiency, develop new training methods suitable for the athlete, determine the training program's effectiveness, and predict injury risk.
