effects of global financial crisis on Singapore sports funding
Local sports scene not to be affected by economic slowdown@CNA
The Singapore Government has committed S$800 million into developing sports here, investing S$500 million between 2001 and 2005, and the remaining S$300 million from 2005 to 2010.
The Government expects the local sports industry — worth S$796 million in 2005 — to contribute S$2 billion of the GDP and provide 20,000 jobs by 2015.
However, the global financial crisis has raised concerns that sports funding may be cut. Last week, it was reported that the completion date of the S$1.87 billion Sports Hub at Kallang is expected to be delayed to 2012 as a result of the crisis.
Funding to the 60 National Sports Associations (NSA) for the current fiscal year — S$32.4 million, up from S$31.9 million in 2007 — and national athletes is unlikely to be affected too.

ultra-compact wireless wearable GPS+ sleep monitor
Fitbit Raises Healthy $2 Million From True Ventures And SoftTech VC@TechCrunch
The company is developing an ultra-compact wireless wearable sensor, called the Fitbit Tracker, that automatically tracks data about a person’s activities, such as calories burned, sleep quality, steps and distance.
All data gets automatically synchronized to your computer and then the web through a wireless base station, so you don’t even have to plug it in. Once synced, you can view your health reports online.
The device, set to go on sale in early 2009 for $99 a pop

radio tracking system for athletes monitoring
High-tech tracking device for Olympic success@ASC
The latest weapon in Australian athletes’ training arsenal has just been added thanks to a new collaboration announced by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the CSIRO.
In a world first, a mobile radio transmitter attached to an athlete or equipment can track their every move. The information is instantaneously sent back to the coach via a wireless network, enabling monitoring of an athlete’s location, speed and position relative to other athletes.
For a cyclist training in a velodrome, a light, mobile phone-sized device can be attached to the bike and can monitor, in real time, the cyclist’s location, speed, split times and accelerations. As well, the device can marry this information with the athlete’s sensory data such as body temperature and various indicators of fatigue.
