Helpful information about starting blocks in a nutshell
1 Functionality and regulation
The launch blocks on offer are the result of advanced research and technological innovation to ensure the highest quality and performance. The equipment allows fine-tuning to meet the individual needs of each athlete. In order to ensure an optimal, equal and fair start for the athletes, it is crucial that the launch blocks offer a wide range of adjustments and are easy to use, so that every athlete has the same chance to potentially achieve the best result.Backrest tilt adjustment
- One of the most important aspects of launch block functionality is the ability to adjust the tilt of the backrests. Our launch blocks are equipped with systems that allow multi-stage adjustment of the backrest angle. For example, some models offer four-stage adjustment, allowing the athlete to set the backrests at the optimal angle to suit his or her launch technique and preferences. Such an adjustment is essential because the proper angle of the backrests affects the sprinter's body position at the moment of takeoff, which has a direct impact on the power of the rebound and the efficiency of the movement.
Backrest spacing adjustment
- The second key element is the ability to adjust the backrest spacing. Our launch blocks allow you to precisely adjust the distance between the backrests, which is important for matching the blocks to the leg length and and technical preferences of the athlete. This adjustment is often accomplished with a rail system that allows the backrests to be moved smoothly and locked in the desired position. For example, some models offer a 24-position range for the foot rest, which provides great flexibility and the ability to fine-tune the fit.
Fastening systems
- The stability of launch blocks during takeoff is crucial to ensure safety and achieve the best results. Our products feature advanced fastening systems that ensure the blocks stay in place even under intense pressure from the sprinter. Depending on the model, the blocks can be attached to the treadmill with pins, spikes or special brackets. Some models have additional anti-slip features that increase grip on the treadmill surface, which is especially important in high humidity conditions or on slippery surfaces.
Ergonomics and comfort of use
- An important aspect of the functionality of the starting blocks is also their ergonomics and ease of use. Our products are designed to be intuitive to use, and adjustments can be made quickly without the use of specialized tools. Many athletes also value the lightness and flexibility of the blocks, which is crucial for frequent travel and training in different locations. Models made of aluminum are particularly valued for their light weight while maintaining high strength.
- In addition, some of our starting blocks are equipped with features such as ergonomic handles for easy carrying or numerical position markings on the rails, allowing the backrests to be quickly and precisely adjusted to the desired position. Advanced models may also feature vibration dampening systems that minimize vibrations transmitted to the athlete's feet, enhancing launch comfort.
2 Construction and materials
The starting blocks we offer are made of materials of the highest quality standards, which translates into their reliability, durability and safety of use. Various materials are used in their construction to perform specific functions, ensuring optimal performance during athletic competitions.Materials
- The steel components of starting blocks are usually made of high-quality carbon steel, which has excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile strength and hardness. To increase corrosion resistance, steel parts are often subjected to an electroplating process, which involves coating the surface of the steel with a thin layer of zinc, obtained by electrifying zinc ions in an electrolytic bath. This process makes the starting blocks resistant to moisture and adverse weather conditions, which is crucial for their long-term use in open stadiums.
- Aluminum components, used primarily in the more advanced models of launch blocks, are characterized by exceptional lightness while maintaining high strength. Significantly, the aluminum used to manufacture these components is often subjected to heat treatment processes, which increases mechanical properties such as fatigue resistance. In addition, aluminum is a material with excellent corrosion resistance, eliminating the need for additional protective coatings. This makes the starting blocks lighter and easier to carry, which is especially important for mobile sports units and athletes who frequently change training locations.
- In addition, the backrest pads of the starting blocks are made of the highest quality artificial surface produced by the renowned Italian company MONDO. Plastics, such as polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are characterized by excellent grip, which is crucial to ensure the stability of the athlete's feet during the start. It is worth mentioning that the plastics used in our products are also resistant to abrasion and UV rays, guaranteeing their longevity even with intensive use in open stadiums. The structure of the surface of the overlays is designed to minimize the risk of slipping, even in adverse weather conditions, which consequently testifies to the highest quality of construction, making the equipment extremely durable.
Safety elements
- The design of the starting blocks also takes into account a number of safety elements that are designed to increase the safety of use and durability of the product. These elements include, among others, bolts, nuts and washers made of stainless steel, which prevent corrosion and ensure the stability of the entire structure. In addition, many models are equipped with special spikes or pins that allow the blocks to be firmly attached to the treadmill, eliminating the risk of shifting during takeoff. Thus, this testifies to the high manufacturing standards that make reputable equipment reliable and safe to use.
Longevity and resistance to weather conditions
- The use of top-quality materials and advanced production technologies makes the launch blocks extremely durable and resistant to a variety of weather conditions. Galvanization of steel components protects them from corrosion, while aluminum and plastics are resistant to UV rays and abrasion. As a result, the equipment retains its properties, appearance and functionality at the highest level even after prolonged and intensive use in open stadiums.
3 Application and certifications
The products we offer are designed for a wide range of applications, both in training and in professional competitions, as evidenced by numerous certificates of compliance with international standards.Application on various surfaces
- The starting blocks available in our offer have been adapted for use on a variety of surfaces, with an emphasis on tartan and synthetic treadmills. Tartan, a synthetic polyurethane surface, is the most commonly used material in athletic stadiums due to its excellent shock absorption and grip properties. Our starting blocks are equipped with spikes or pins that allow them to be firmly attached to the tartan surface, ensuring maximum stability during the start. For other types of surfaces, such as natural grass or concrete treadmills, we offer models equipped with special fastening systems to guarantee safety and reliability in special conditions.
WA certifications and international standards
- The quality of our starting blocks is confirmed by numerous certificates of compliance with international standards, including those issued by World Athletics (WA), which prove that our products meet the stringent requirements for sports equipment used in international competitions. These requirements include both technical performance and safety issues, ensuring that our sports blocks are suitable for use at the highest level of sports competition.
