I disagree. The Human is not so simple( ok maybe me). We are not all the same. the state of mind in any person in any given situation is not quantifiable. This very thing is as often as not a critical factor in the quality of movement. Navy SEALs are not chosen only for physical ability. The strength of character and mental state are more important factors and simply cannot be boiled down to an equation.That depends on what they are trying to measure. Boxing and martial art kinesiology is actually a huge area of study to the point that some major universities have graduate studies dedicated to it. If you want to know how to hit harder i.e. higher impact force then that's what you focus your study on. If you want to know best areas to hit, then you focus on that. as far as timing a strike, that is purely reaction time and is something that can be trained and kinesiologist can study why/how reaction time works. Everything in the martial arts is quantifiable in some way.
