The accuracy of the proposed software calibration was also verified, through the synchronization practical application with the [Simi motion system].The researcher reached a correlation coefficient from medium to very strong. The lowest correlation coefficient was (0.59) in the vertical distance. which is medium, and (0.99) in the horizontal distance (0.98) in the angle . which is very strong. The current study also showed the ability of the system to track any movement in the space at fractions of a second with an interval (0.03 s).The value of the differences in measuring the max ”IMUs” m velocity of the straight punch between the two systems was limited to a min”IMUs” m (0.05 m/s) and a St.dv of (0.04 ±), a max ”IMUs” m of (0.19 m/s), and a St.dv of (0.13 ±).
