Wind Correction
Read full descriptionHide full description
In athletics, wind conditions are a crucial factor for every athlete. Wind Correction is the first app that lets you accurately calculate what your time or measurement would have been under any desired wind conditions. Wondering how your performance might change with a neutral wind? Or curious to see your potential with a more favorable breeze? Simply select your event, input your recorded result along with the wind conditions you experienced, and choose the wind value you want to test. Wind Correction will do the rest! The app’s algorithm is based on the studies and research of M. Moinat, O. Fabius, and K.S. Emanuel. Their findings were published in 2018 in the article, Data-Driven Quantification of the Effect of Wind on Athletics Performance.
TrackCoach Athletics

TrackCoach Athletics is a focused set of training tools for track & field coaches and athletes. • Starter Pistol — A reliable, low-latency starter for sprint practice. The classic "On your marks... Set... BANG!" sequence is timed precisely so athletes can rehearse race starts without needing a real pistol. Configurable delay and reaction offset. (iPhone/iPad only — the feature uses motion sensors to detect block exit.) • 400m Hurdle Calculator — Plan stride patterns and split targets for the 400m hurdles given a target time and athlete gender. Generates a full hurdle-by-hurdle table. • Sprint Calculator — Predict 100m / 200m / 400m times from a single test rep (e.g. a 30m flying + 200m from blocks). Useful for race-pace planning and load management. • Wind & Altitude Calculator — Estimate the effect of wind and altitude on 100m / 200m / long jump / triple jump performances, using a physics-based model. Check whether a mark is wind-legal under World Athletics rules. • Scoring Tables (WA 2025) — Score any performance against the latest World Athletics scoring catalog. Pick an event, enter a time or distance, get back the WA points. Works in reverse too: enter a target score and see the equivalent performance for every event in the catalog — useful for combined-event scoring, equivalency comparisons, and goal-setting. No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads. Built for coaches who want a quick, accurate tool on the track.
