How does HyperPulse compare to Whoop for athletes?

Whoop and HyperPulse solve different problems. Whoop = 24-hour recovery, sleep, HRV. HyperPulse = in-game performance metrics designed for rule review at the field of play. Wrist devices are restricted in many HS sports; HyperPulse must still be approved by each sport, school, event, and official. Run both for the complete athlete picture.

Whoop's strengths

Continuous 24-hour HRV. Sleep tracking. Strain score. Recovery score. Adult-athlete training optimization. Best-in-class for off-field load management.

HyperPulse's strengths

In-game performance capture designed for rule review. 12 metrics during sanctioned play. Sport-specific scout-grade exports. Multi-sport coverage. Built for parent-managed youth athletics with privacy-by-design, no GPS, and COPPA-aligned workflows.

The use-case split

Whoop tells you: 'should my athlete train hard today?' HyperPulse tells you: 'how did my athlete perform during the game?' Both questions matter for high-performance youth + HS athletes.

Why Whoop isn't HS-legal

NFHS rules prohibit wrist devices in most sports (basketball Rule 3-5-3, baseball/softball, etc.). Whoop's wrist-band form factor means it has to come off before games — exactly when the most valuable data is happening.
