Abstract
Paragliding is one of the extremes sports. One of the contested categories is landing accuracy. The purpose of the research is to know the relationship between wind direction and wind speed due to the result of the landing accuracy of athletes. This type of research includes crossectional by using a total sampling technique in 61 paragliding athletes. Determinants of wind direction and wind speed measurements conducted when the athletes made the landing. The measurement of landing accuracy measures at the first foot on the ground. The results show that the wind direction was associated with the result of landing accuracy (p=0,02). While the wind speed is not related to landing accuracy (p=0,12), it concluded that the landing accuracy result could influence by wind direction.
