North Carolina-based sportswear company Implus has developed a wearable product that measures speed, agility and vertical jump.
The SKLZ Hyper Speed combines a wearable tech band and user-friendly mobile app to measure speed, agility and vertical jump so athletes can create their own combine in their backyard or on the practice field.
“The SKLZ Hyper Speed is a game-changer for youth athletes looking for a precise and reliable device to measure their speed, agility and vertical jump,” said Michael Polk, chief executive officer of Implus. “This product is a precision tool that replaces the need for expensive timing gate systems and inaccurate stopwatches, and it provides instant feedback to easily track performance gains on the SKLZ proprietary app.”
The Hyper Speed is easy to use for athletes who want to monitor and level up their performance. Users set up their phone in the included tripod, strap on the wristband sensor and begin training. The app features instructional video drills to help guide and challenge athletes with different workouts. After each session, users check the app to view immediate results. It tracks and graphs speed or jump results after every drill to provide a review of progress over time.
Athletes can use the Hyper Speed with a range of additional SKLZ products to diversify their workouts or focus on refining a particular skill with various training tools.
The Hyper Speed (sklz.com/hyper-speed-athletic-wearable-training-system.html) is available for $200 on SKLZ.com, Amazon and at select Dick’s Sporting Goods House of Sport stores.
