In a competitive sport environment, it is critical for an athlete to be able to perform at their optimal level of performance. Especially at the elite level, the recovery process is essential in maintaining a healthy body and career longevity. Hyperice is a company committed to using tools and technology to help and enhance any experience you have as an active person, and their newest device is truly exciting for the future of sport recovery and injury prevention.
The VYPER is Hyperice’s most recent, cutting-edge fitness and recovery tool that enhances the recovery process and improves overall performance. It is a multipurpose device that uses a combination of pressure and vibration to loosen up muscles and increase circulation. This isn’t just your average foam roller that relies on gravity and body weight to create the necessary pressure to loosen muscles. The VYPER is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery that generates an incredible amount of power, force and frequency. This is the same king of high-performance energy source that powers a Tesla. Through advanced engineering, the VYPER is able to emit the precise amount of force and frequency to optimize the recovery process.
Hyperice jumped on to the sports performance and recovery scene in 2012 when their first product, Ice Compression Technology, took the process of icing and recovery to the next level. Now, with the creation of VYPER, Hyperice is not only releasing this cutting-edge device to professional athletes all over the world, but they are simultaneously making it available to the public. They’ve chosen to launch on Kickstarter, giving public backers the opportunity to provide everyone the option to move better and feel better with the VYPER. As supporters on this Kickstarter campaign provide funds for the VYPER, mass production can begin.
Elite athletes are always searching for the best tools and technology to stay healthy and maximize their recovery routine, and it’s clear by the star-studded Hyperice athlete roster that their products are the real deal. The first four prototypes of the VYPER are currently being used by Adrian Peterson, Blake Griffin, Lindsey Vonn and Troy Polamalu. Adrien Peterson, the NFL’s 2012 MVP, initially joined the Hyperice team post-ACL surgery when he was referred to Ice Compression Technology. Peterson describes himself as, “not the guy that’s big on trying different products.” If he likes it, he rides with it. VYPER is the tool Peterson chooses to help prepare his body so he can train at the highest level and recover faster so he can continue day in and day out.
“I use the VYPER every day to keep my body in peak condition,” says Peterson. With his impressive career in the NFL and ability to quickly rebound from an extensive ACL tear, Peterson’s belief in the product is a true testament for the caliber and quality of the VYPER.
Blake Griffin, NBA All-Star, also uses VYPER to prepare his body for training and games. “It is an essential part of my routine and enables my body to perform at the highest level through the grind of a long season,” says Griffin.
The VYPER is able to take recovery to the next level because of the benefits it is capable of providing with its advanced technology. The high intensity and high frequency vibration it is engineered to provide at 3 speed settings allows the VYPER to loosen and lengthen muscles which increases an athlete’s range of motion and flexibility. Having looser muscles reduces the risk of wear and tear on muscles during training or competition. The VYPER also increases circulation, which is ideal for warming up your muscles prior to any type of physical activity. Ultimately, the VYPER helps reduce muscle soreness and stiffness for better recovery, because it is assisting the warm up and recovery process.
Look for more athletes to get on board with the VYPER as it is an easy to use recovery and training product that fits into any schedule and work out regimen.
