Impact force meter

The specialized mobile application Impact Force Meter is designed to measure the force of impacts using the built-in acceleration sensor of your smartphone. Those curious about the power behind punches or the force exerted on a punching bag now have the capability to measure and track that force with precision. To verify functionality, simply start the app and observe the "Force" line—if there are changes upon creating an impact, the device is compatible.

Before using the app, users should enter the weight of the punching bag or object to which the phone is attached. The calculation of force is done by multiplying this weight by the sensed acceleration. For consistent accuracy, the same sports equipment should be used since results can vary based on the bag's properties, such as softness or attachment stiffness.

This tool conveniently records and saves your top seven results, facilitating performance tracking over time. While it provides relative results for insight and improvement, it is important to remember that smartphones are not a replacement for professional measurement devices, and usage is at an individual's risk.

Ultimately, when seeking to understand the power of physical impacts, Impact Force Meter offers a convenient way to obtain immediate feedback. Whether for casual curiosity or more dedicated physical training, this application serves as a handy tool for those interested in quantifying their own strength.
