Portable weather station is used for short-term emergency weather observation of track and field events

Meteorological conditions affect track and field sports by acting on the endocrine changes and physiological and psychological changes of athletes, and ultimately affect the athletes' performance.

Track and field competitions are mostly held outdoors, so meteorological factors such as wind, temperature, humidity and air pressure have a great impact on them.

The influence of wind on track and field competition

Wind direction, wind speed affect track and field events, especially sprint, hurdles and so on. In track and field, there is a rule that says: "The track race at a distance of 200 meters or less, as well as the long jump, triple jump and other events, where the average wind speed exceeds 2 meters/second when the wind is downwind, the record will not be recognized." We all have this experience, riding a bicycle upwind is very difficult, but riding a bicycle downwind is very easy. The thrust of the wind will affect the performance of the competition, so the influence of the wind should be taken into account when the track and field competition is held.

The influence of temperature on track and field competition

High temperature and low temperature will affect the athlete's physiology and psychology, thus affecting the competition. We will avoid high temperature and low temperature weather in ordinary exercise, not to mention professional events.

The influence of humidity on track and field competition

The humidity of the air is too large, which is not conducive to the evaporation of sweat and the heat dissipation of the body, which leads to the psychological changes of track and field athletes, and will become irritable, depressed, and physical strength will decline. The air humidity is low, the air is very dry, and the athletes will have a feeling of thirst due to a lot of sweating, which is easy to dehydrate, both of which are not conducive to the level of athletes.

The influence of air pressure on track and field competition

When the air pressure exceeds 20%, the human body will produce a series of physiological changes, which will affect the athlete.

All in all, the relationship between meteorological conditions and track and field is very close, and professional equipment will be deployed before professional events to monitor the change of meteorological factors on the field. The portable weather station launched this year by Wind Road Technology is ideal for short-term emergency weather observation such as events.

The equipment is composed of tripod and ultrasonic integrated meteorological sensor produced by Fengtao Technology, which can collect temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, optical rainfall and other meteorological factors closely related to track and field competitions in real time. The collected data is transmitted to the free cloud platform through wireless transmission, equipped with Android APP, users can view the meteorological conditions in the field on their mobile phones. Provide meteorological data support for guiding the event.
