Question 5

What is the range and/or distance of VERT with my smart device?

Accepted Answer

The standard range is about 100-150 feet line of sight!!! Also, VERT software allows for auto-sync with data if it loses connection. So if you are not in rage, once VERT re-establishes connection it will “auto-sync” data back to your smart device if you have you have your smart device.  Have some fun with testing your range/distance. We successfully tested connections more than 300 feet!

Question 6

What is the “Book Bag Mode” Feature?

Accepted Answer

The idea came from putting your phone on your book bag and going to play without worry about losing your data. You are now able to play your game and when your VERT Wearable Jump Monitor re-syncs with your smart device it will push your data on the VERT app after use. So you are able to play and not worry about the data not syncing to your app! Please make sure your VERT Wearable Jump Monitor is not shut off so it can immediately re-sync when you are done. Also if your smart device is connected to the Internet all that data will seamlessly integrate to your myVERT.com!

Question 7

What is the difference between the VERT jump device and a standard slap stick test?

Accepted Answer

VERT Wearable Jump Monitor measures true Vertical when you are testing or when you are playing in a game or practice. The slap stick test is a great way to measure coordination. The most accurate way to measure a player’s vertical is based on the center of body mass which is a portion of VERT Wearable Jump Monitor Measures. Slap Stick Tests measures two variables: Initial Measurement – which has variations with length of arm, person stretching that arm, and actual measurement of the person. As you know if you are doing a standing 1 hand touch, you can deviate your measurement by as much as 3 inches just by stretching or adjusting your body. Coordination/ Timing: TEST – When doing a vertical Slap Stick Test, you are actually timing your Jump, timing your arm to move during your jump as well as timing your hand to touch a slap stick as the APEX of your timed jump and timed movements. The Slap Stick Test is an excellent coordination and timing test. Approach tests with the Slap Stick even more challenging as you are also adding to more elements of coordination with speed and timing of feet for take off.

Question 8

What is the accuracy of a VERT Wearable Jump Monitor?

Accepted Answer

Most of our accuracy test have shown VERT to be

Question 9

Has VERT been validated by an independent third party for accuracy and performance results?

Accepted Answer

YES!  VERT was honored to have the University of Calgary, Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre include VERT technology in their most recent independent study on jump count and vertical jump accuracy analysis studies.  The study included the following vertical jump test equipment: Kintrak 3D motion analyzer, force plate, slap stick and VERT wearable jump device.  The VERT wearable jump device was the most accurate when compared to a Kintrak 3D motion analyzer with a mean error of -.945 inches (less than 1”!).  The VERT wearable jump device was the only test device that has the capability to be used in a real-time practice or game vs. other vertical jump test equipment.
