Abstract:
1. A data logger for use on a sports rowing craft comprising: a. a global position sensor mountable on a boat to derive three dimensional positioning data relative to elapsed time; b. at least one accelerometer mountable on the boat to derive acceleration and velocity data in three dimensions; c. a power supply; d. a microcontroller with a clock to interrogate the global position sensor at a frequency of at least 1 Hz and to measure the accelerometer data; e. physiological sensors adapted to be fitted to each crew member and arranged to communicate with said microcontroller; f. said microcontroller being programmed to manipulate the received data and transform it into useful parameters for assessing crew and craft performance; and selectively including g. storage means for storing the parameters; and h. telemetry means for transmitting the parameters to a remote control point.
