Abstract

Environmental and meteorological conditions have an important effect on outdoor sport performances. Wind direction and wind speed are important, for example, during marathons, rowing and sailing races. Temperature is also very important in long running events. Water temperature, for example, is an important factor in swimming during triathlon races. The authors believe that environmental data will acquire increasing importance in analyse sport performances in the next future. Of course, such an analysis will require the assistance of a specific software tool, of which the main features are summarised in this document. The software tool would be very useful for athletes and trainers.
