blockanalyzer

A Starting Block Analyzer works using a mix of technology—mainly pressure sensors, motion detectors, and specialized software. When a sprinter places their feet on the starting blocks and begins a run, the device captures every bit of movement from the moment the “ready” position starts to the first step forward. The pressure sensors measure how much force is applied by each foot. This is crucial because uneven pressure can mean poor balance or bad form. The analyzer also records how quickly the athlete reacts to the start signal. This “reaction time” is important because in short races like the 100m dash, a slow start can cost a win.
