The VERT Wearable Jump Monitor is the first sports wearable with a feature called Jump Rate™, a new fitness measurement. This feature measures the athletes jump load during a specific time period. "I can't say enough how helpful the VERT Jump Rate™ feature has been to my jump rope training," said Angel Perez, a Crossfit competitor and athlete affiliated with Crossfit Fortress in Miami, Florida. "Innovation like this is what will help me improve and one day get to the Crossfit Games podium," said Perez.  

The VERT wearable jump monitor is the first sports wearable used during an NCAA event and transmits real-time data to coaches, viewers and broadcasters. VERT units can calculate motion in all directions, and does so through a proprietary algorithm to measure vertical height. The device itself is unnoticeable to both observers and the user, but allows coaches to monitor player jumps in practices, games, tryouts and workouts. This results in a better experience for the athletes who know their risk of injury will be minimized.
