Quick summary
VERT is a mobile lifestyle application from Mayfonk Inc. that pairs with the VERT Classic wearable and the G-VERT intensity module to deliver live jump metrics. It streams performance data wirelessly so athletes and coaches can monitor results in real time.
Device support and connection options
- iOS devices with Bluetooth 4.0 support can receive jump data directly from the sensors.
- The VERT Classic wearable itself also displays jump metrics on-device for instant feedback.
Measured variables and analytics
- Jump height (estimated vertical displacement) and kinetic energy calculations.
- Power output and overall exertion levels during activity.
- Stress/load as a percentage metric to help monitor fatigue.
- Total jump counts and rates tracked across timed sessions for session analysis.
Sharing features and media overlays
VERT includes a social media tool (PROPS!) that lets users capture photos and short animated GIFs with their performance figures layered as a visual filter. These can be shared directly from the app to showcase results.
Training applications and injury mitigation
Beyond simple jump logging, the system helps with load-management and injury prevention by monitoring cumulative jump exertion. It also streamlines vertical jump testing by removing the need for manual slap-stick measurements.
Options for coaches and team management
Coaches can access extended functionality through the VERT coach tools and the G-VERT Team system available via myvert.com, enabling team-level monitoring and group performance tracking.
