Iran-Made Device Measures Agility of Martial Arts Athletes
“I have invented a test device to measure the agility and speed of martial arts athletes by registering the pulses that are created as a result of activities on a mat or the competition ring in various sports, including wrestling, wushu, taekwondo or boxing,” Hadi Habibi, the Iranian inventor, told ANA.
He added that the device can evaluate the speed of athletes with the help of a series of receivers that are audio and video while the athlete is climbing the rope.
Habibi said that the device for measuring the agility of athletes can be used as a hardware and software and be mass-produced.
The ability to be move quickly, change direction and still be coordinated enough to throw an effective strike or kick is key to many martial arts such as Jeet Kune Do, Krav Maga, Kung Fu and Karate.
Moreover, martial arts agility drills help to improve a martial artist's overall balance and reaction speed.
