SmartBlocks vs Outperform Sprint Tools

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.

You can feel when you're sprinting hard. You can't always see what's working. Sprint Tools measures what's hard to see in real time: millisecond-timed reactions, block start angles, stride-by-stride speed across a fly zone, and nervous system readiness. Free from Outperform. No ads. All video analysis runs on your device, and nothing uploads. Built for sprinters, hurdlers, and the coaches who train them. WHAT'S INSIDE Reaction Time Test Sharpen the start reaction most athletes never train in isolation. On-marks, set, and gun at real-starter cadence, millisecond-precise timing, and a live leaderboard to benchmark against peers. Block Start Analysis Import a clip of your start and see your block angles, body position, and first-step mechanics. Built-in coaching notes explain what each number means and which block adjustments typically fix common issues. Full block setup guide included. 30m Fly Speed Profile See stride length, stride frequency, velocity, and rhythm across a fly zone. Identify where speed is gained, held, or lost, then compare against validated research benchmarks to know where you actually stand. Kinogram Builder Turn any sprint clip into a frame-by-frame kinogram. Compare left and right sides for symmetry. Coaches can draw angles, add notes, and send the marked-up kinogram straight to the athlete. CNS Readiness Tracker Know whether today is a push day or a back-off day. A ten-second tap test with a 7-day rolling average tells you whether your nervous system is primed for quality work or asking for rest. Wickets and Stride Calculators Personalized wicket spacing based on individual leg measurements, for a single athlete or a full group, at any training level. Plus a stride-length calculator for program design. Training History Every reaction time, tap test, and analysis saved so you can track progress across a season. WHO IT'S FOR Sprinters dialing in their starts. Coaches working with full rosters who can't watch every rep. Parents coaching their own kids at the track. Hurdlers working on three-step rhythm.
