Formula Kite is an Olympic sport that mainly differs from other kitesurfing modalities for the use of a hydrofoil. It is considered an extreme sport due to the great technical ability required. Regarding performance, the variables that determine performance in a real competition situation have not been studied, and even less so with Olympic sailors. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the technical and tactical variables that differentiate elite sailors. The sample consisted of 42 Olympic sailors of the Formula Kite class, who were evaluated in three World Cups. Using a GPS device, the speed, distance traveled, maneuvers, and time spent on the courses of upwind, downwind, and beam reach were recorded. The highest-level sailors presented a higher speed in upwind/downwind/beam reach and a shorter time in upwind and beam reach. Performance seems to be more strongly influenced by technical variables, such as speed, than by tactical variables.
风筝冲浪是奥运会的一个比赛项目，主要区别于其他风筝冲浪的方式是使用水翼。它被认为是一项极限运动，因为它需要很高的技术能力。关于表现，在现实比赛情况下决定表现的变量还没有被研究过，对于奥运会帆船运动员来说更是如此。因此，本研究的目的是确定精英帆船运动员之间的技术和战术差异。样本由 42 名风筝冲浪的奥运选手组成，他们在三个世界杯中进行了评估。使用 GPS 设备，记录了顺风、逆风、横风的速度、行驶距离、机动动作和时间。最高水平的帆船运动员在顺风/逆风/横风中的速度更高，在顺风和横风中的时间更短。表现似乎更多地受到速度等技术变量的影响，而不是战术变量的影响。
