Tapping Test App (iOS)

For my pal Sascha over at me-improved.de I’ve developed an app to measure taps-per-time: the Tapping Test app.

The tapping test is a heuristic for fatigue of the central nervous system. As with any test, it doesn’t make much sense to compare yourself with others except for the laugh of it; but if you track your tap test performance over time, multiple times per day, you can get to a useful base value.

Then you can look for outliers: e.g. after weeks of hard workouts, you’ll notice your performance decline because the CNS will not be rested. This can become a tool to time breaks or deloads in your exercise regimen.
