The Vault Approach
ELEVATE YOUR GAME WITH SPORTS SCIENCE
How, Exactly, can we boost performance?
Training with greater intensity does not equal better results.
THE PROBLEM
Train with Strategy
More Reps.
More Weight.
More Intensity.
≠
Faster.
Stronger.
Better.
Measure outcomes with sports science.
THE SOLUTION
VERTICAL JUMP INSIGHTS

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Training with sports science helps athletes tap into their full potential. Knowing when to push, when to pull back, and what’s working versus what’s not makes all the difference.

FATIGUE MONITORING
At the elite level, overtraining is one of the leading causes of stress injuries. Vertical jump testing serves as an effective tool for screening fatigue, helping coaches adjust workout intensity accordingly.

RETURN TO PLAY
Injuries are challenging moments in an athlete’s career, often managed through collaboration between players, coaches, and health professionals. Having concrete data provides an additional point of reference, helping athletes strategize their return to play—when the data says they’re ready.
STEP INTO THE FUTURE
Vault Research
The research division at Vault Kinetics was established to answer one question:
How do we push the envelope of human performance? Peak performance will come from training at peak intensity + peak efficiency. We're nearing the limit for what intensity alone can get us — we need to find the next edge.
We believe sports science — the process of experimentation, knowing exactly when performance rises and what underlying training variables (exercise selection, nutrition, sleep patterns...) are driving it — will get us there.
To do that, we need data. A lot of it.
We need to measure performance gains and tie them to real-world training patterns:
Vault One is our way of delivering lab-grade vertical testing technology to training centers across the country.
Vault Profiles (launching next year) is our way of helping gyms easily store performance information and view them over time to identify performance spikes and compare results with athletes across the country.
FROM THE GROUND UP
How do we measure (and quantify) athletic performance? We believe in data collected from the floor: ground reaction forces (GRFs).
Motion capture, IMUs, GPS ... each provide an important slice of the complete picture. But the one avenue for comprehensive data collection exists in the floor.
Every movement, from a sprint start to a vertical jump landing, produces GRFs. GRFs have been the centerpiece of sports science and biomechanics research over the last decade, and we chose to double down on capturing and decoding these forces to unlock deeper insights into human performance.
