Water-filled punching bag with punch sensor assembly

1. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly comprising:

an inflatable bag having a valve; and

a sensor assembly cooperable with the inflatable bag, the sensor assembly including:

an impact sensor that is configured to detect impact with the inflatable bag, the impact sensor being a tube-shaped pressure transducer disposed at a distal end of the sensor assembly that is inserted into the inflatable bag through the valve,

a threaded valve interface integrally coupled with and directly adjacent the impact sensor on a valve side of the impact sensor, the threaded valve interface being secured to and sealing the valve of the inflatable bag, and

a processor communicating with the impact sensor and receiving sensor data output from the impact sensor.

2. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the impact sensor is configured to measure a pressure change within the inflatable bag upon impact.

3. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the pressure transducer is calibrated according to a size of the inflatable bag to correlate the pressure change with an impact force.

4. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising a data transmit device cooperable with the processor, the data transmit device outputting the sensor data processed by the processor to a remote device.

5. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 4 , further comprising a software application running on the remote device, the software application generating a graphic user interface that displays at least one of the force of each impact, a number of impacts, impacts per minute, a total work out time, a round number, a start/stop button, calories burned, and number of steps.

6. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the software application generates a graphic user interface that displays a number of power punches, the power punches being defined as an impact force exceeding a predetermined impact force based on a user weight class.

7. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the data transmit device comprises a Bluetooth adapter.

8. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor assembly further comprises a battery compartment for receiving batteries that power the impact sensor and the processor.

9. A fluid-filled punching bag assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the sensor assembly further comprises a data transmit device cooperable with the processor, the data transmit device outputting the sensor data processed by the processor to a remote device.

10. A sensor assembly cooperable with an inflatable bag having a valve, the sensor assembly comprising:

an impact sensor that is configured to detect impact with the inflatable bag, the impact sensor being a tube-shaped pressure transducer that is insertable into the inflatable bag through the valve;

a threaded valve interface integrally coupled with and directly adjacent the impact sensor on a valve side of the impact sensor, the threaded valve interface being securable to and sealing the valve of the inflatable bag; and

a processor communicating with the impact sensor and receiving sensor data output from the impact sensor.

11. A sensor assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising a data transmit device cooperable with the processor, the data transmit device outputting the sensor data processed by the processor to a remote device.

12. A sensor assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the data transmit device comprises a Bluetooth adapter.

13. A sensor assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising a battery compartment for receiving batteries that power the impact sensor and the processor.
