VERT Team System (VTS) is a full-service player management platform. All data is collected wirelessly by VERT wearable devices. The VERT device captures real-time data points during practice and games. The platform comes with VERT-specific assessments for measuring athlete endurance, vertical, movement efficiency and explosiveness. The sensors connect wirelessly to an iPad via Bluetooth BLE or WIFI. When using BLE the iPad can manage six (6) sensors at once; and up to sixteen (16) units when using WIFI in conjunction with a router set up. Full Service VERT Performance Team Support: • Custom reporting for coaches, S&C and athletic training staff. • Video consultation of athlete mechanics and feedback on tips/drills for improvements. • Flag athlete and team trends regarding increases or decreases in training load. • Alert staff of athletes with high-risk mechanics. • Review best practices and offer training load recommendations. • Easy auto-update to firmware on VTS devices with new features through WIFI. Jump and Landing Load: • Manage jump load for injury prevention and return to play. • Flag high-risk athletes with live landing impact tracking. • Manage player averages. • Track fatigue. • Motivate players with live leaderboards. • Simple reporting. • Compare practice to game performance. Mechanical Load: • Measure every dynamic movement and the g-force of that movement. • Quantify how hard the athlete is working his/her body with energy (Kinetic energy). • Compare practice directly against game intensity. • Monitor high versus low stress movements with stress % (mechanical stress) • Track asymmetry with multiple sensors on the field of play. VERT Team System comes with the following screens: Team View (all active players), Jump Leaderboard (for motivation), Load Leaderboard (energy, power, stress), and Individual Impact page (average g-force per movement, jump and landing impact graphs).

Explosive Athlete turns your Explosive Belt sensor into a complete jump-testing and velocity-based-training lab. JUMP TESTING Jump height, flight time, takeoff velocity, peak force, mRSI, eccentric & concentric velocity and the shape of every jump - measured at 500 samples per second. CMJ, squat jump, Abalakov, approach jumps and your own custom types. Wear it in practice: every jump counted and measured automatically. BAR VELOCITY Auto-detected reps with peak and mean concentric velocity, range of motion, velocity-loss tracking with configurable set-stop alerts, training zones, bar path and full velocity/power curves - plus explosive-profile metrics like time-to-peak-velocity, POP-100 and the eccentric acceleration index. GYM MODE Huge numbers readable from across the floor, with instant sound feedback on every rep and jump. TEAM Rosters, athlete profiles with bests and trends, readiness flags, Force-Velocity profiling, session history, PDF reports, CSV export. Everything stays on your device - no accounts, no subscriptions. Requires an Explosive Belt sensor (Bluetooth) for live measurement. Browsing, team management, history and manual records work without hardware.
