Firmware is updatable software for your trackers. Keeping your trackers firmware up to date allows you to enjoy new features as they become available.

When a firmware update is available, you will be notified when you connect your trackers to the app. You can then follow the instructions to update your trackers.

If you experience issues updating your tracker, we recommend the following:

• Confirm that your trackers are paired to the Hykso application, and that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
• Fully charge your tracker and check that your mobile device is sufficiently charged.
• If the Hykso application freezes while your tracker is being updated, force close the app and try again.

Hykso’s algorithms are built to recognise and analyse punches. The trackers themselves were not designed to be worn anywhere else than on the wrists. Placing them somewhere else could lead to injury.

Intensity Score is a score given to each punch (and added up to get a cumulative score by the end of the round) which is related to the physical output of the boxer, not how hard they hit the bag. So for example an inexperienced boxer might flail his arms and use a lot of energy but won’t hit the bag that hard (but he will get a good Intensity Scorebecause they still used a bunch of energy to move their hand) and an experienced boxer for the same energy output might generate a lot more force on the bag, but he will get the same Intensity Score value, because they exerted the same energy, but just directed it better and were more efficient.

So assuming the technique is consistent, if the boxer can throw the punch faster and faster they will get higher Intensity Score values. The whole concept is a scoring system that rewards hitting as fast as possible and as often as possible. And we focus on the boxers output instead of the force they exerted on the bag because force cannot actually be calculated without being in between your hand and the target (which is dangerous) and we believe coaches will help optimize technique which will then allow Intensity Score to represent the one metric everyone wants to maximize by pushing themselves as hard as possible.

At the moment, the Hykso app does not have a social share feature. You can always brag about fast your hands are in person! Gyms can display data on any
