SmartBlocks vs ReMotion Sprint

The Data Athletics SmartBlocks App is used to control and record data from Bluetooth Low Energy enabled starting blocks, SmartBlocks, for sprinters and other track & field athletes. These starting blocks measure and record, start time, push force, reaction time, block position, block angle, and run time.   SmartBlocks record and analyze athlete performance and allow athletes to visualize their current and past runs. They include on board start cadence and a start shot as well as run time beam breaks.

ReMotion spot red flags early (injury + performance risk) from sprint video. Fix issues sooner, stack healthy weeks, and improve faster. Sprinting can feel fine while patterns build underneath the surface. Those hidden patterns create two problems at the same time: performance risk (wasted reps, slower progress) and injury risk (compensations that add up over time). ReMotion helps you see what’s happening sooner so you can correct earlier and keep training consistent. Record a sprint in Live Mode or upload a video. ReMotion analyzes key sprint phases and body positions to surface movement patterns you may miss—then delivers clear, coaching-style feedback so you know what to fix first.
