Premier League Clubs Track Player Load With Edge AI Vests
STATSports Apex Series packs Nordic Semiconductor Bluetooth chips and on-device AI into a 55-gram vest. The vest streams heart rate, speed, and acceleration at 100 Hz to sideline tablets during matches. English Premier League clubs receive live dashboards that flag fatigue thresholds.
Coaches replace post-match guesswork with minute-by-minute workload scores. They adjust substitutions and recovery plans before the next fixture. Training load moves from average RPE scores to objective sensor data.
STATSports supplies the Apex vest to multiple Premier League sides. The clubs report fewer soft-tissue injuries after substituting players whose live load exceeds preset limits.
Step 1: Order the STATSports Apex vest at statsports.com and pair it with the Apex Athlete app. Step 2: Start a live session so the vest streams 100 Hz data over Bluetooth to your tablet. Step 3: Review the post-session report for total distance, high-speed running, and PlayerLoad to set tomorrow's training cap.
