Edge AI sensors move performance tracking from the lab into the match kit
STATSports Apex Series places Nordic-powered Bluetooth sensors inside a lightweight vest. The system streams heart rate, speed, and acceleration at 100 Hz to sideline tablets. English Premier League clubs and other federations now use the vest in official matches.
Coaches replace post-match video review with live load metrics. They adjust substitutions and training loads the same day. Workflows move from subjective observation to threshold-based decisions.
STATSports supplies Apex vests to English Premier League clubs. The clubs report fewer soft-tissue injuries after enforcing individualized acceleration thresholds derived from the live data.
Step 1: Visit https://statsports.com and request the Apex Series developer kit. Step 2: Pair the vest sensors via the Apex app and select the live dashboard view. Step 3: Run a timed drill and set a maximum acceleration alert at 4 m/s² to trigger substitution review.
