"We are thrilled to align ourselves with the most prominent brand in cheerleading," said Martin Matak, founder and president of VERT. "A large part of cheerleading is gymnastics-like tumbling, jumps and stunts. To this, VERT has added the ability to measure their athleticism with real-time measurements."
With the official launch of G-VERT™ in summer 2016, Nfinity® athletes will have the ability to use the non-invasive and discrete inertial measurement unit (IMU) to track numerous athletic measurements. These specific measurements include the peak acceleration of every movement, measured in G-forces, providing real-time exertion and stress data. The G-VERT™ technology will combine existing jump measurement technology with new G-force measurements including total Gs, high and low intensity count, surges per minute, high peak acceleration (Gs), and average peak acceleration (Gs).
VERT's partnership with Nfinity® gives athletes the ability to use this intensity measurement device in conjunction with the uncompromising performance, style and comfortable product innovations that Nfinity® is known for. Nfinity® strives to address the unique biomechanical needs of the female athlete to enhance athletic performance and as a result, help reduce the risk of injury, a mission that aligns perfectly with VERT's own mission. "This partnership opens a new door within the world of competitive cheerleading and wearable tech," said Tate Chalk of Nfinity® Athletic. "Through this partnership with VERT, Nfinity®'s brand will continue to strengthen its position as the High-Performance Cheerleading Brand™. Nfinity will bring VERT® to market through all of its B2B and B2C channels worldwide beginning fall of 2016."
