Abstract/Contents:Comparisons of temperature and humidity at ground level were made on 3 adjacent sports grounds on the southern outskirts of Innsbruck; one was on turf, one sand and one synthetic (Poligras). The records were taken with thermohygrographs in both sunny and changeable weather. Sand and Poligras pitches showed the highest temperature and the lowest humidity, and retained heat longer. Turf pitches, however, provided the best climatic conditions for the player, for even with high temperatures and dry weather conditions the humidity was optimum. The mean maxima of temperature and humidity 2 m above the ground could provide useful basic information on the climatic conditions of sports grounds at ground level. To obtain more accurate and reliable details records should be made frequently at different positions during the playing season.
