CCX-Alpha

Background
Technology is becoming a powerful tool in the quest for total physical fitness. With the ability to track distance and log workouts, smartphones and like devices are playing an ever-increasing role in the way athletes record various physical activities such as running and weight training.

Problem Statement
In order to fully incorporate technology for the purposes of gauging physical performance, smartphone and similar technology need to be taken to the next generation through the development of application software to measure calisthenic exercises in much the same way distance and pace is automatically measured with GPS. Simply put, maximum data capture with minimal direct input from an athlete.

The Solution
One such software application is CCX-Alpha, an application developed with the capability of capturing various calisthenic exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, dips, and running. Apart from these core features, CCX-Alpha also aims to make running safer by by controlling the audio volume and enabling a headlight at points along the run deemed "dangerous" by the athlete.
