The Hykso App

• The Hykso app allows you to view your punch output in real time and measure your daily, weekly, and monthly progression.

Punch Trackers

• Hykso’s punch trackers track your hands’ movement 1000 times per second to detect the number, the type, and the velocity of all your punches.

What is the Intensity Score?

• Created to measure the output exertion of the motion (This is not the same as the energy transferred to the bag / object being punched)
• It is a number that starts at 0 at the beginning of each round and every punch you throw increases the value until the round is over, where you see that round’s Intensity Score.
• The amount that it increases by depends on many factors, such as punch velocity, punch type and how well you generate the speed behind the punch (optimally a short time duration with a very high acceleration)
• We created a 3 tiered system to further reward punches with large amounts of effort and energy behind them.

  Each tier drastically increases the Intensity Score, so for the highest score you would need to always throw the largest volume of Tier 3 punches so it’s a trade-off between volume and intensity. Basically, you should push yourself to punch as hard and as much as possible during a training and you’ll be getting a better and better Intensity Score!

• Use it to benchmark your effort during a workout. For example, you can run the same drill twice and aim to improve your Intensity Score. You can also monitor your Intensity Score between your drills to see which ones push you hard.
