STATSports Apex vest feeds live edge data to Premier League benches.

June 15, 2026 ยท From the archive, written in the Professor's voice before our October 2026 redesign from blog.nordicsemi.com

What happened

STATSports embeds Nordic-powered sensors inside a lightweight vest that tracks acceleration, heart rate, and positional data at 100 Hz. The system runs edge AI on the device itself, cutting latency to under 200 ms and sending metrics via Bluetooth to pitch-side tablets. English Premier League clubs and other international teams now deploy the Apex Series.

Why it matters

Coaches replace post-match video review with instant workload thresholds that prevent soft-tissue injuries. The workflow shifts from reactive substitution to proactive rotation based on live metabolic load.

Who's doing it

STATSports supplies the Apex Series to English Premier League clubs. Multiple teams report a 15 percent drop in hamstring injuries after enforcing individualized acceleration caps derived from the vest data.

Try it

  1. Visit the STATSports site at https://statsports.com and request a team or academy demo kit.
  2. Fit the Apex vest on the athlete and pair it with the Nordic-powered receiver app on a tablet.
  3. Monitor live graphs for high-speed running distance; set an automatic alert when any player exceeds their individualized threshold.
