The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between thigh skin temperature, knee muscle strength, aerobic and anaerobic exercise capacities in sailing. 20 sailing athletes were assessed during pre-seasonal assessment period. Thermal camera imaging was performed to assess the skin temperature at anterior and posterior parts of thigh for both legs. Knee muscle strength was evaluated by using isokinetic dynamometer, which was found to be a reliable device to evaluate isokinetic knee muscle strength. Treadmill VO2max Test was performed to monitor the development of athlete's aerobic exercise capacity. The Wingate cycle ergometer test was performed to assess the two major components of anaerobic exercise capacity, namely, maximum anaerobic power and relative anaerobic capacity. No significant relationship was found between anaerobic power- capacity and aerobic capacity r0.50 . Also skin temperature was in relationship with aerobic exercise capacity r>0.50 but not in relationship with anaerobic exercise capacity r
